Course Information

Why study computer science

  • Computer science is vital to the economy, in the UK and worldwide.
  • From online retailing and music, to satellite navigation and computer games, intelligent computer-based solutions transform every part of our lives.
  • The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) means that jobs that didn't even exist a few years ago are being created to meet demand.
  • It's an exciting field offering endless opportunities for skilled graduates to contribute to all aspects of society.

Why UWE Bristol

  • BSc(Hons) Computer Science shows you how to analyse complex problems, design the algorithms to solve them, and write the programs that put these solutions into practice.
  • There's a strong AI focus, and you'll learn from world-leading experts, studying and applying AI in a range of environments.
  • You'll develop a solid foundation in object-oriented software development, and create algorithms that use data structures to manage huge volumes of data. Learn how to design and develop innovative programs ranging from mobile apps to desktop applications and enterprise systems.
  • Choose from modules that enable you to work with industry mentors, or that explore cutting-edge ideas such as the Internet of Things.
  • Attend talks from professionals and apply your learning through hands-on projects that solve real-world problems.
  • Bristol is recognised as a high-tech 'super-cluster', with over 50,000 people employed in the industry. You'll be able to work alongside some of them by undertaking a work placement, with companies such as Microsoft, IBM or GCHQ.
  • This degree is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS), enabling you to become a Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP), or Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Where can it take me

  • A successful graduate can expect a starting salary of £26,000 to £35,000 as a software developer or engineer, depending on the sector.
  • You could become a software engineer, web and software developer, business analyst, IT project manager or an IT consultant.
