Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the foundational discipline of the digital age, encompassing the theory, design, and implementation of computational systems. It draws on mathematics, logic, and engineering to address questions about how algorithms work, how data can be organised and processed efficiently, how software systems are built and made reliable, and how computers communicate with each other and with their users. A degree in computer science develops both the theoretical understanding and the practical programming and system-building skills that are essential for working in the technology sector. At the University of Reading, this three-year full-time programme provides a rigorous and well-rounded education in the core areas of the discipline. You will study programming, data structures and algorithms, software engineering, computer systems and architecture, databases, networking, and a ran
