The major or joint honours in Computer Science allows you to obtain a sound technical and professional education in Computer Science, while also spending one third or one half of your time studying a coherent programme of modules in another subject. The core modules are the same as for the BSc in Computer Science.

When Computer Science is studied with a European Language, in each of the first, second and fourth years, you spend one third of your time studying the chosen language. A year in industry is an assessed part of these schemes. The department has many links with European companies, through collaborative research projects, and will help you to find placements in the computing industry in the appropriate country.
