99 Computing Degree Programs in United Kingdom

Study the engineering of computer hardware and software alongside the mathematical principles of computing. Computing is a creative and wide-ranging subject that focuses on using sound underlying principles and logical thinking to design and build systems that really work.

BSc (Hons) Computing at Bath Spa is hands-on and creative. You’ll build computing products such as databases, software, and websites, learning by making – right from the start of the course. You’ll focus on context, design, and technical implementation. You’ll also learn to collaborate with others, communicate your ideas, and round off your skill set.

In Digital Arts Computing you will develop artistic work in conversation with critical studies. Through a series of projects for public exhibition you will explore the materialities of creative computing. This degree will prepare you to transform and lead the field of digital art.

We recognise that there are many routes to success at the degree level. Our Computing and Mathematics Foundation Year specifically caters for those who lack the traditional entry qualifications to join the first year of a science degree. You are likely to be someone with either non-computing/maths-based qualifications, someone who has tried computing/maths-based subjects but has yet to realise their potential or you are a mature student, with skills and experience from employment, who wants to return to education.

Our one-year Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) prepares you to teach the secondary school computing curriculum for the 11-16 age range. You’ll explore how to teach children computing and digital skills through hands-on activities such as programming and practical projects.

The BSc (Hons) Computing with Foundation Year is designed to provide a strong grounding in use of computing and IT to solve real world problems. The programme is based around 3 themes: Technology, Software, and Data. These themes are embedded in modules each year and built upon in subsequent years, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of database systems, internet technologies, data, cyber security, networking, and business information systems - all essential features for all computing and IT job roles.

Designed for graduates who want to move into computing from another discipline, MSc Computing and IT Management provides you with broad technical knowledge and a sound business context for managing IT systems. Through this course, you will learn the skills needed to develop business applications through a fundamental understanding of software and web development, e-commerce and database management. You will also gain an understanding of the professional skills required to lead IT managers by working as a part of a team on a business change project.

This MSc Computing offers students from diverse career and subject areas a balance of software engineering skills and technical abilities required for a career in Software Development. Through this two-year programme, you will get a first-hand understanding of the vital problem-solving role of software, the interdisciplinary opportunities available, and what computational systems can achieve. Through a gentle introduction and intensive support, you will be introduced to programming skills using important languages such as Java and Python. Emphasis is placed on handling data and you will develop essential skills in SQL (Structured Query Language) for advanced database functionality using industry-standard products such as Oracle.

You will master modern programming languages, data science and machine learning algorithms, and apply them to problems in your chosen science. You will understand the main software engineering concepts and principles involved in scientific computing and data science and use them to model complex scientific systems, giving you an edge in a competitive and fast-changing labour market. Through project work, industrial networking and visits, you will have opportunities to build contacts, opening up additional job opportunities once qualified.

Mathematics underpins many aspects of computer science by combining theoretical problem-solving with practical implementation. Together, they make a powerful combination for tackling complex challenges in various fields. This interdisciplinary degree is ideal for someone with strong mathematical skills and a passion for computer science.

The MSc in Computational Fluid Dynamics is designed to reflect the wide applications of computational fluid dynamics to gain the knowledge and appreciation necessary for a strong foundation in a career in this exciting engineering discipline. You'll learn to understand, write and apply CFD methods.

Understanding the relationship between brain, cognition and behaviour is one of the biggest challenges the scientific community is currently working on. Computational cognitive neuroscience is a young and exciting discipline that tackles these long-standing research questions by integrating computer modelling with experimental research.

The PhD in Computing Sciences is designed for students who want to explore research at a high level. It focuses on helping you develop advanced skills in areas like algorithms, data management, softwa...

Our BSc (Hons) Creative Computing has been designed to give you the confidence to use computing technology as a creative and expressive medium. You’ll become a digital maker equipped with creative problem-solving skills and an in-depth understanding of well-established and emergent technologies. You’ll be taught at our MediaCity campus, a hub of creative and digital businesses with facilities including digital labs, computing suites, editing studios, green screen facilities and equipment stores. There will be lots of opportunities to engage with our industry partners through live briefs and there is also an optional one-year paid placement.

The PhD program in Computing offers an opportunity for students to engage in in-depth research within various areas of computing, such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and soft...
