The Computer Science (Gateway) is an alternative entry route to computer science at the University of St Andrews. Its aim is to provide an entry route for talented and enthusiastic students who meet some or all of the University’s widening participation criteria.

The programme offers an interactive and tailored first year focussed fully on the study of computer science. Students enrolled via the Gateway study alongside other first year computer scientists, as well as undertaking specially designed Gateway-only modules.

The Gateway-only modules focus on introducing and reinforcing relevant computer science, mathematics and transferable skills. Students will benefit from a highly supportive learning environment and small class sizes. These modules have been designed to encourage group work, and will provide a forum for student-led exploration of a variety of computer science topics
