BSc Computing Science with a Year in Industry

This four year course introduces you in the first year to the core material underpinning computer science, with opportunities to tailor your degree programme in the second and final years by selecting from a wide range of optional modules. The third year will be spent on an industrial work placement.

Year 1

During your first year you will undertake compulsory modules which introduce you to the fundamentals of computing science, taught through lectures and laboratory classes. You will also undertake relevant mathematical modules.

Year 2

In the second year you will encounter state-of-the-art computing subjects, including software engineering, data structures and algorithms and theoretical computing. You will also be able to study modules taken from a list of optional subjects so you can begin shaping your own curriculum.

Year 3 (Year in Industry)

The third year of study will be spent on an industrial placement consisting of nine to fourteen months of full-time employment. The placements are sourced and secured by you (with help from UEA), you will pay a reduced tuition fee receive a wage*. Throughout the work placement you will keep in close contact with an assigned mentor at UEA, who will also visit you at least once during the year. You will also be supported by an industrial supervisor throughout the placement.

Year 4

Your final year of study gives you the opportunity to study specific areas of computing science in greater depth through a substantial independent computing project. You will also select several optional modules allowing you to tailor your studies according to your own interests.
