Computer Science is about computation, and in particular, about solving problems using computers. This means developing the skills needed to program computers and develop algorithms. Combining problem solving with knowledge of hardware, computer scientists can help solve real world problems in just about all areas of life. Over the two years of this highly practical course you will learn to use programming languages to design and write algorithms which solve problems, leading on to a systems development project of your own choosing for real users. You can also expect to gain an understanding of the operation of hardware under the control of software, and study existing solutions in areas such as communications, encryption and control systems.
