Our academic Schools
Computer Science is a rapidly evolving subject that touches every aspect of our lives. The School of Computing is at the forefront of research in areas such as cyber security, data science, programming languages and systems, and computational intelligence.
Our aim is to convey that knowledge clearly and enthusiastically to our students. By doing so, we equip them with the theoretical and practical skills they need to move on to careers, whether in industry or in academia, where they can bring about positive change in the world. We actively encourage our students to gain hands-on experience in computing and support them to go on placements.
We are recognised both for the quality and impact of our research and the exciting range of undergraduate and postgraduate opportunities on offer. Established over 40 years ago, the School of Engineering has developed a top-quality teaching and research base, receiving excellent ratings in both research and teaching assessments.
We are committed to developing employable, ethical and responsible graduates. We strive to impact positively on contemporary issues, recognising that the unique blend of technological and design expertise within the School is at the forefront of the needs of 21st-century society.
