    Course Summary

    Cardiff Met’s BSc program in Computer Science is a great way to build a career in one of the fastest growing fields either in the UK or abroad. Computer Science specialists are in very high demand across a wide range of different industries, in the public, private and not for profit sectors. You’ll learn both the theoretical aspects of data science and the computational, analysis and trouble shooting skills which are most highly in demand for nearly any industry or career pathway.

    You’ll study computing, systems architecture, operating systems and the physical construction of computers in great detail. You’ll also learn how to organise and write programming code in a range of industry standard languages.

    In addition to your core curriculum, you can specialise. You also have the option of studying Computer Science generally, or of gaining a specialty in Cyber Security, Programming, Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics or Mobile Computing.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
