Computer Science (with a year in industry) (Hons) University of York

Overview

In this Computer Science (with a year in industry) (Hons) programme from the University of York you will study systems at different levels of abstraction, including digital hardware architectures, low level programming, operating systems, intelligent systems, compilers and high level languages. 

Quick Facts:

• You’ll learn to design user-centred systems, recognise the power of data, and build intelligent systems that learn from data.
• The broad and principled approach to computer science will give you a thorough grounding in theory as well as practical skills, helping you to solve real-world problems.
• On this integrated Masters you'll go further and study topics that really interest you to an advanced level, benefitting from access to research in the Department.
• You will spend a year in industry, furthering your knowledge, networking and getting real-life experience.
• The move towards a digital economy creates demand for computer scientists and software engineers across a broad section of employers, so the skills you develop here will make you attractive to many organisations. Most of our graduates go into the field of IT/Computing, followed by Financial Services, some undertake further study (eg PhD) and others go straight into industry (for example working for IBM, BAE Systems etc).
• Many of our graduates are employed by software and electronics industries, but the continuing expansion of the use of computers in commercial and financial operations means that you will be able to find employment in other industries - and here your sharpened numeracy and analytical skills will have prepared you well.
