Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the systematic study of computation, the discipline concerned with how information can be processed, stored, and communicated, and with the design of the software, algorithms, and systems that make this possible. It spans a wide range from the theoretical foundations of what can be computed in principle to the practical craft of building software that works reliably in the real world, and it requires both rigorous mathematical thinking and the creative problem-solving that produces elegant solutions to hard technical challenges. At the University of Portsmouth this three-year programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad, and work placement experience, giving your degree a strong professional and international dimension alongside its academic breadth. You will build a solid foundation in core computer science concepts, covering programme design, data structures,
