Computer Science (with Foundation Year)

About this course

Computer science is the study of computation, algorithms, and the systems that process, store, and communicate information. It is both a rigorous mathematical discipline and a profoundly practical one, underpinning everything from web applications and operating systems to artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data science. The field moves quickly, but the core principles of problem-solving, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking that a computer science degree develops remain relevant across every new generation of technology. The University of Northampton offers this four-year full-time programme, which includes a foundation year designed to bring you up to speed with the mathematical and technical foundations you need before progressing to the main degree. The foundation year makes the programme accessible to students who may not have studied computing or mathematics at a high lev
