Computer science is of enormous importance to the economy, and the role of computer science as a discipline itself and as an ‘underpinning’ subject across science and engineering is growing rapidly. The growth of mobile devices and webrelated technologies has resulted in new challenges for employers and employees, and businesses today require an ever-increasing number of technologically-aware individuals. Computer science is a practical subject, requiring the ability to think creatively and to analyse problems in computational terms as well as very good mathematical skills.
Entry requirements for the course will be a minimum of grade 6 in GCSE mathematics and some coding experience in a programming language such as Python or Visual Basic. GCSE computer science is beneficial.
