Computing Science

About this course

Computing science is the discipline that underlies the digital world, concerned with the theory of computation, the design of algorithms, the architecture of systems, and the software engineering practices that translate ideas into working programmes. It is a field of extraordinary breadth and consequence, touching every sector of modern life from healthcare and finance to education and the arts, and it continues to develop rapidly as new challenges and opportunities emerge from artificial intelligence, distributed systems, cybersecurity, and the proliferation of digital devices. At Aberdeen you will develop a thorough grounding in computing science across four years of full-time study. The programme covers programming, data structures and algorithms, software engineering, computer architecture, databases, operating systems, networks, and the theoretical foundations of computation.
