Computer Science

This programme trains graduates to contribute to the development of complex information technology systems designed for reliability, usability and long-term durability. Coursework builds skills in software architecture and design principles applied to large-scale system development, together with the ability to document technical solutions and critically evaluate both system structure and the broader context in which systems operate. The qualification opens roles throughout the IT sector in both public and private settings, including consulting firms, organisations running substantial internal development functions, and research and development departments at major technology companies. Typical job functions include software development, technical consulting and project management, drawing on a combination of hands-on technical skill and the capacity to reason about system design decisions and their practical implications.
