Computer Science (with a year in industry)

About this course

Computer science is the discipline that seeks to understand computation in all its forms, from the mathematical theory of what can and cannot be computed to the practical engineering of software systems that solve real problems. It encompasses algorithms and data structures, programming languages, operating systems, networks, databases, artificial intelligence, and software engineering, and it is the intellectual foundation of the digital world. At the University of York, this four-year full-time programme gives you a thorough grounding in fundamental computer science theory alongside the practical skills needed to address real-world problems. You will study the mathematical foundations of computing, learn to design and analyse algorithms, understand how systems are built and how they can fail, and engage with the engineering disciplines that allow complex software to be built reliably
