Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the academic and practical discipline that underpins the software, systems and algorithms that shape every aspect of modern life. It asks students to think with mathematical rigour and creative precision about how information is represented, processed, communicated and secured, developing the ability to design and build computing systems that are correct, efficient and reliable. A degree in computer science from an accredited programme provides the theoretical foundation and the practical skills that are the most reliable starting point for a career in computing. At Aberystwyth University this three-year, full-time programme is accredited by the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS) on behalf of the Engineering Council, meaning it meets the recognised professional standards of the computing profession and allows you to develop toward Chartered IT Professional status.
