BSc Computer Science with Study Abroad
About this course
Computer science is the study of computation: the theory, design and implementation of algorithms, data structures, programming languages, operating systems and software systems. It is a discipline that combines mathematical rigour with practical creativity, and its graduates are among the most employable in the modern economy, with skills that are applicable across virtually every sector. As computing has moved from a specialist technical field to the backbone of social, economic and commercial life, the ability to understand and build software systems has become one of the most universally valuable professional capabilities. At the University of Hull, this four-year programme includes a study abroad component, giving you the opportunity to spend time at an international partner institution and experience computer science in a different academic and cultural context. You will study the core areas of the discipline, including algorithms and data structures, programming, software engineering, databases, operating systems, networks, artificial intelligence, machine learning and human-computer interaction. The study abroad opportunity broadens your perspective and adds international professional dimension to your degree. Hull's computer science programme emphasises practical skills and applied problem-solving alongside the theoretical foundations of the discipline. The typical entry tariff is 104 UCAS points. Computer science graduates work in software development, web engineering, data science, cybersecurity, systems administration, artificial intelligence, UX design, product management and a wide range of technology roles across every industry. The international experience gained through study abroad is increasingly valued by technology employers, particularly those with global operations or clients. Many graduates also pursue professional certifications or postgraduate study in areas such as cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence or software architecture.
