Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the discipline that underpins the digital world, encompassing the theory and practice of computation, software development, algorithms, data structures, artificial intelligence, and the systems that connect computing to the physical world. It is a subject that trains you to think rigorously about problems, to design and implement solutions in code, and to understand the mathematical and conceptual foundations that make modern software and hardware possible. Computer scientists work at the boundary of theory and application, and the field evolves rapidly as new technologies create new problems and new possibilities. At Sheffield Hallam University, this three-year full-time programme includes a foundation year for students who need additional preparation before engaging with the main degree content, as well as a sandwich placement year and work placement opportunities.
