Overview
This page covers Engineering and Physical Sciences Foundation Programme: Computer Science across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Computer Science lets you specialise partway through, usually between security, data and software engineering.
