Computer Science with Foundation Year

About this course

Computer science is the discipline that studies computation, algorithms, software systems, and the principles that govern reliable and efficient computing. It trains you to think rigorously about problems, to express solutions in code, and to build systems that work correctly at scale. The discipline is as mathematical and theoretical as it is practical, drawing on logic, algebra, and formal methods alongside the craft of programming and software engineering. Its outputs underpin virtually every sector of modern life, from finance and healthcare to entertainment and critical infrastructure. At Birmingham City University this four-year full-time programme begins with a foundation year, providing the mathematical and computing foundation needed for the main degree and making it accessible to students who may not have studied computing or mathematics to an advanced level before.
