Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the study of computation, algorithm design, data structures, software engineering and the theoretical foundations that underlie all digital systems. It is both a rigorous intellectual discipline and a practically powerful one, providing the tools to build the software and systems that digital life depends on and the analytical skills to understand and improve them. At York St John University this three-year programme develops your technical and creative skills across the discipline, preparing you for a field where change is constant and the ability to learn and adapt is as important as current technical knowledge. You will develop your programming ability, study the design and analysis of algorithms, explore databases, networks, operating systems, software engineering principles and the emerging areas of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
