Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Computer Science] From Cardiff Metropolitan University

On the B.Sc. in Computer Science (Hons) at Cardiff Metropolitan University students begin by developing fundamental knowledge of the theory of computing, computer architectures and the construction of computers and their operating systems, whilst developing their underpinning programming skills.Ê

Students move on to examine how professional software code is best organised and begin working at the boundary where software and hardware meet to understand how software can interact with the physical world.Ê

Broadening options can be undertaken that allow students to gain knowledge in specialist areas such computational intelligence, cyber security, advanced programming techniques, data analytics and business intelligence to become highly employable across many sectors of the digital economy.

Employability & Careers:

The primary aim of this degree programme is to develop theoretical understanding of the key concepts of computing, software and systems. It will showcase the wider impact and importance of software and technology to both society as well as the UK and global digital economy, alongside developing highly transferable computational thinking, analytical and problem solving skills, as well as a broad range of software development skills.

Computer Science graduates will find a wide variety of career opportunities across both the traditional IT and telecoms sector, as well as the majority of the other industrial sectors (both public and private), including the digital/creative industries, financial and professional services, advanced manufacturing, engineering and management consultancy. Real world experience is obtained as part of your study by compulsory work experience, as well as optional sandwich year placements and industrial internships. Over the past few years, our students have been successful in obtaining placements in nationally competitive schemes with Microsoft, HP, General Electric and the Met Office.
