What will I learn?

BSc Computer Science with integrated Foundation Year is a four-year degree programme, including an integrated foundation year to help develop your skills and creativity before you start the first year of the degree course.Code, create, and collaborate – with creativity at the heart of your skills.Learning to code will give you a skill for life. Learning to code in an art school, surrounded by creatives and working on experimental briefs, will give you an edge that makes you impossible to ignore in the job market. Here, you’ll collaborate with artists, designers, film directors, and game makers – who will change the way you see software and systems, and give you a unique vision of computing.You'll get your hands on the hardware early – Arduinos, sensors, circuit boards – and work in virtual production studios alongside your end users. The software you write will have consequences that you can see and hear – fundamentally influencing the way you see and write code.Graduate with a full technical toolkit: programming, algorithms, software engineering, AI, data, systems – accredited and industry-ready. And because you've spent three years building software alongside other digital creatives, you’ll have a perspective, portfolio, and level of experience that most of your peers won’t.
