Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the study of computation, algorithms, programming languages, software systems, and the theoretical foundations that underlie all of these. It is a discipline with both deep abstract dimensions, in the mathematical theory of computability and the formal analysis of algorithms, and intensely practical ones, in the building of systems that perform real functions reliably at scale. As digital technology has become the infrastructure on which virtually all modern activity depends, the demand for people with serious computer science training has grown across every sector of the economy. At the University of Plymouth, this three-year full-time programme includes an integrated foundation year that prepares students who need additional mathematical and technical grounding before entering the main degree. The foundation year builds the skills and knowledge needed to engage con
