Computer Science

Very few aspects of our lives remain unaffected by computers. Innovation continues to extend both the quantity and quality of the contributions they make to society.
As our reliance on information system broadens and deepens it becomes ever more important to improve their applicability, dependability, intelligence and usability. Our 40 academics, supported by a similar number of research staff, conduct world leading and internationally recognised research across the spectrum of computer science. This enables us to adopt a research-led approach to our teaching which ensures that our students are fully prepared to generate the next wave of innovations when they graduate.
