Department of Computing and Mathematics

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality teaching and research across all our specialisms.

Career-focused programmes

Our postgraduate courses reflect areas where there’s a demand for specialised skills. We also have conversion courses to help graduates from other subjects move into computing.

Our undergraduate students can take part in a year in industry, whilst final-year and MSc students regularly collaborate with industry. Our collaborative projects offer businesses the chance to employ skilled students, while placement students gain valuable experience in the sector.
