Computer science is one of the most exciting and rapidly developing subjects you can study at university. Its importance in our everyday lives for work, education and recreation is already enormous - and still growing rapidly. There are significant opportunities available to those who understand the technology and can influence its development and use. The Computer Science courses at Strathclyde provide a sound foundation in the first two years, including especially for MEng students foundations in business and relevant law. Students then select classes that cover the range of computing knowledge, from program and software design, through computer networks and distributed computing, to artificial intelligence and computer architecture.
Practical work is emphasised throughout the course.
A choice of specialist subjects in later years will allow you to tailor the course to your interests and career aspirations. Advanced Highers will be considered on a similar basis to A levels for potential entry to second year. Three passes at AAA, including Mathematics and Computer Science. Successful candidates may be required to complete a pre-entry programming course. SQA Higher Grade Four passes at BBBB normally including Mathematics.
