About

The Computer Science (Hons) course here at Aston University will provide you with the professional and technical skills you need to design and deliver the next generation of high-quality software. 

Overview

What you’ll learn

You’ll learn how to run software projects, developing the skills to be a designer, programmer and project manager and understanding how to create usable and accessible software.

If you choose the Computer Science (Hons) course here at Aston University, you’ll spend your third year in a paid professional placement of direct relevance to your studies. This placement will give you invaluable practical experience in a real work environment and further enhance your career prospects.

Our staff will help you find a suitable placement and support you during your year. Our current and recent placement employers include companies in the UK and abroad such as: IBM, 3M, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, Intel, BT, Corus and TNT.

In your final year, you’ll undertake a project to enable you to further explore a particular subject. Your project could be based on a topic from an extensive list or you can suggest your own, perhaps based on your professional placement.

We provide opportunities to get involved in our student-run software development organisation, Beautiful Canoe (https://beautifulcanoe.com/), through the provision of a number of summer internships every year. There is also an Industry Club, open to everyone, which gives you opportunities to meet with employers and showcase your work, increasing your chance of securing that all-important graduate job or placement.
