Computer Science in practice
You work on hands-on projects with real companies throughout the course, working collaboratively in small groups and drawing on the expertise of instructors and professionals in computer science. In our Computer Science programme, we believe in learning by doing and this practical approach ensures that you graduate not only with knowledge but also with valuable, real-world experience. At the start of the programme, you develop a strong foundation in computer science through the BattleBot project. The BattleBot project is designed to provide a hands-on introduction to key computer science concepts and ends with a competitive contest on race day. This practical method of working (what we call Design-Based Education) means you learn to refine your problem-solving skills through continuous feedback, fostering adaptability, and honing your teamwork and leadership abilities within the realm of computer science. By delving into practical applications, you gain first-hand experience in addressing real-world challenges.
