Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the study of computation in its fullest sense: what problems can be solved algorithmically, how software and systems are designed and built, and how computers interact with data, networks, and the people who use them. It is a discipline that underpins almost every sector of the modern economy, and one that is evolving rapidly as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud computing, and distributed systems reshape what is possible and what is needed. At the University of Sussex, this four-year full-time Computer Science degree provides a strong professional education designed for an industry that is constantly changing. You will study the theoretical and practical foundations of the subject, including algorithms, data structures, programming languages, software engineering, computer systems, and networks, while also exploring more specialist topics as you progress.
