Computer Science

Computer science is about understanding, designing, implementing and using computing systems. You will be introduced to basic principles of programming and computation in Years 1 and 2 before choosing to specialise in your preferred areas during your honours years. Computer science is about understanding, designing, implementing and using computing systems.

These systems can range in scale, and complexity, from the tiny components of a single processor to the globe-spanning internet. The core concepts of computing come from mathematics, logic and engineering, such as: Computer science is also about the practical techniques of programming computers to solve real and difficult problems. There are many links to other subjects, including: This intellectually challenging subject underpins core technologies of the 21st century and can be a route into many different careers.
