Computer Science teaches the theory and skills you need to revolutionise the technologies of the future

Computer Science brings together disciplines including mathematics, engineering, natural sciences, psychology, and linguistics. You will be taught by world-leading experts, surrounded by exceptional peers from all backgrounds and corners of the world. All aspects of modern computer science are covered, including the underlying theory and practical skills, as well as broader foundations in economics, law, and business. The 4-year course qualifies you for both the BA and MEng degrees. It is also possible to graduate after three years with only the BA degree.
