The world of computers continues to change dramatically, particularly as we approach the next century. Not so long ago, typewriter keyboards and printers were the usual ways of getting information into and out of computer systems. As electronics and computer science have developed, new and fascinating forms of interactions are now possible.
Modern machines can respond to verbal commands and reply in a realistic voice.
Multi-media systems make use of photographic quality moving colour images and high fidelity stereo sound. Britain's computing and electronics industry has played a significant role in the advancement of these new technologies. British Universities, too, remain quick to respond to technical developments and other ideas, offering a range of courses designed to establish and nurture careers in the world of computing science. Course names do not always sufficiently cover the content you'll study and because each University is set up differently, courses will be found in a variety of departments. Some institutions may even spread their computer-related courses across a host of departments.
