Computer Science

About this course

Computer science is the study of computation itself: the theory, design, and application of algorithms, data structures, software systems, and the hardware on which they run. It is a discipline that combines mathematical rigour with creative problem-solving, and its graduates are among the most versatile in the economy, equipped to work across virtually every sector that depends on digital technology, which is to say, effectively all of them. The field is also one of the most rapidly evolving, which means that the best computer science education develops not just current technical skills but the theoretical foundation to adapt as technologies change. At Edinburgh Napier University, this four-year full-time programme gives you a full understanding of computing tools, techniques, and practices across a wide range of application areas. You will study programming, algorithms and data struct
