Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the study of computation: what can be computed, how to compute it efficiently, and how to build the systems that do so reliably. It is a discipline that spans theoretical foundations and practical engineering, from the mathematical logic that underlies all computing to the algorithms, data structures, and software architectures that produce the applications, platforms, and infrastructure the modern world depends on. As technology continues to transform every sector of the economy and society, the ability to understand and shape it from the inside is one of the most valuable skills a graduate can have. At Aston University this three-year, full-time BSc covers the core areas of the discipline, including programming, algorithms and data structures, software engineering, computer systems, networks, databases, and artificial intelligence. The programme is designed to give
