Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the study of computation in all its dimensions, from the theoretical foundations of what can and cannot be computed to the practical art of building software systems that work reliably at scale. It is a discipline that rewards both precise mathematical thinking and creative problem-solving, and one that has become central to how virtually every sector of the modern economy operates. The diversity of systems that run on program code, from mobile applications and web services to embedded controllers and distributed networks, reflects the breadth of what computer science encompasses. At the University of Leicester, this three-year full-time Computer Science degree develops proficiency across a wide range of programming languages and development environments, building theoretical knowledge alongside practical ability to design, implement, and evaluate software systems.
