BSc Computing Science and French
About this course
Computing science and French is a combination that reflects how technological capability and linguistic competence are increasingly valued together in a globalised digital economy. Computing science provides the technical foundations of modern software development and digital systems, covering algorithms, data structures, programming, software engineering, databases, and the computational principles that underpin everything from web applications to machine learning. French adds a major European language and cultural dimension, opening access to a Francophone world of over 300 million speakers that includes significant technology hubs, international organisations, and cultural institutions. At the University of Stirling this four-year full-time programme develops both disciplines with genuine depth. You will develop strong programming and systems skills alongside a high level of French language proficiency, with content that includes French language, literature, society, and culture studied through the medium of French. The degree includes a year abroad, which is particularly valuable for language development and international professional experience. The typical entry tariff of 152 points reflects the dual academic demands of this programme. You will develop technical computing skills, cross-cultural communication, and the analytical and linguistic capabilities that make you genuinely distinctive in technology and international contexts. Graduates pursue careers in software development, digital consultancy, international technology organisations, translation technology, data science, the civil service with international remit, and French-speaking technology markets. Postgraduate study in computing, software engineering, or French is a natural continuation for those wanting to deepen one or both sides of the degree.
