What will I learn?

Computing at Aberdeen encompasses both the theory as well as the practice of computing with special emphasis given to Distributed Information Systems and Knowledge Technologies.Helping doctors to treat a newborn baby, analysing the huge volume of data from the human genome, tracking jet engines in flight and ensuring that maintenance is planned accordingly, and making online shopping easier and more secure - these are just some of the challenges that computer scientists rise to every day by using their technical analysis, design and programming skills that they learn at University to create better and more intelligent tools.Computing at Aberdeen has strong links with industry organisations who support our teaching through guest lectures and seminars and prizes (including for example Amazon, CGI and ScotlandIS). Students can also spend a year on placement during their studies, which is an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand professional experience of working in industry.The British Computer Society (BCS) recognises our Single Honours degrees for professional membership without additional examinations.
