At the Undergraduate level we offer 17 specialist BSc degrees courses i

n Computing and IT. These full-time courses range from AI and Robotics, Internet Computing, Games Development and Graphics to Software Engineering, Information Systems Development and Computer Networking.

At the Postgraduate level we run highly successful specialist and generalist Masters programmes for good honours graduates from computing and non-computing degree courses, respectively.

The specialist programme consists of MSc Computer Science and MSc Computer and Internet Applications, and the generalist programme offers MSc Computing and IT and MSc Internet Technologies.

These courses have been recently accredited by the British Computer Society at Chartered IT Professional (CITP) level

In addition the department in conjunction with the School of Media, Arts & Design offers a multi-disciplinary specialist MSc award in Computer Animation. Each course is available for part-time evening study.

Our facilities including the computing laboratories are the envy of older universities in the UK, having expanded by more than 100% over the last 4 years and occupying purpose-designed facilities on the ground and first floor of the main building, Park Square. Computers are replaced every 3 years and provide up-to-date software environments for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
