Aims of the Programme Computer Science is both an academic discipline in its own right and an enabling technology for other discipline: Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences as well as Science and Engineering. The focus here is firmly on Computer Science as an enabling technology. The programme aims to provide a solid, self-contained and coherent core of computer science suitable for combination with a variety of other academic disciplines. It aims to provide:

A grounding in the theory underpinning modern developments in computer science.An introduction to practical software design and implementation.A range of options in computer science to cater for a variety of interests and backgrounds.

The aims above are relevant to the Year in Computer Science. Aims for the main subject can be found against the standard version of this programme
