Computer Science with Foundation Year

About this course

Computer science is the intellectual and technical discipline that underlies modern computing, from the algorithms that power search engines and social media to the architectures of cloud systems and the theoretical limits of what machines can compute. It is at once a branch of applied mathematics, an engineering discipline, and a creative practice, and it is among the most employable degrees available. The skills it develops, including systematic thinking, problem decomposition, and the ability to build and reason about complex systems, are in demand across virtually every sector of the economy. At Surrey this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year for students who are new to computer science or whose prior qualifications require some additional preparation before entering the main degree. Whether you are already an experienced programmer or taking your first steps in
