  • Location

    London

  • Duration

    4 Years

Our BSc Computing develops your knowledge, technical skills and self-directed learning skills in computing, especially in areas affected by rapidly changing information technology. In your final year of this programme you will carry out a complex real-world computing project.

Modern computing and information system skills often become obsolete as new technology is developed. Therefore the programme strikes a balance between learning current skills, which are important in the marketplace, and emphasising the underlying theories, which last longer and which provide a sound basis for developing new skills, techniques and technologies, and even new theories. We also cover the social and organisational impacts of information technology.
