    Course Summary

    Keele University’s BSc in Computer Science is your gateway to an exciting, challenging and very rewarding career in the Computer and Information Sciences. You’ll gain more than just the ability to code or program computers. You’ll come to understand how you can solve real world business, commercial or industrial problems with a new computer or software system. You’ll also learn how these developments can make everyday lives easier.

    You’ll learn the maths and information sciences which underpin modern computer science, as well as the hardware systems and software techniques which make these theories operate in the real world. You’ll learn from researchers who are pushing the cutting edge of computer science research.

    You’ll be able to build your own specialty in Creative Computing, Evolutionary Systems or Information Systems, or master them all as a true generalist. You’ll even be able to benefit from a year in industry, or studying abroad.

    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.
