The department offers a single honours degree course in computer science
as well as joint degrees with the following disciplines:
Course Structures
All the computer science degrees are 4 years long. In the first two years
three subjects are studied. In the final two years you only study your
honours subject(s).
- First and Second Year
- Computer science, Maths and one other subject are studied;
Joint honours students study their other honours subject
while single honours students can choose from a wide range
of courses available throughout the university.
- Third Year
- A number of modules are presented each covering a specific
area of computer science in depth. Students choose their
study from the modules available. Joint honours students
normally take half the modules taken by Single honours
students. A large group project is also undertaken. The
project aims to simulate a working development environment.
The project proves to be exiting and interesting experience
for most students.
- Final Year
- In the final year of study all students devote a large amount
of their study time to a major individual project.
Joint honours
students may choose which of their disciplines to take the project
in. The project is supervised by a member of staff and usually
involves some form of current research.
The rest of their time is spent studying a selection of modules
covering advanced computer science topics.
