    Course Summary

    The University of Birmingham is a world leader in computer science research, and offers extensive alumni mentoring opportunities to its students. Studying Computer Science at the U Birmingham means learning about all types of computational systems, both in terms of theory and in development, design and application.

    Your studies will touch on various programming languages, operating systems, databases and related concepts as well as the subjects of software engineering, AI, nature-inspired computation and robotics.

    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.

    Course Outline

    Year 1:

    Both the Computer Science, Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence programs share their first year material. This includes both the basic material of each subject and an understanding of algorithms and relevant mathematical concepts. That means that after receiving a solid grounding in basic concepts, you can choose which path to pursue in the future.

    Year 2:

    If you stay with the core computer science program, in year 2 you’ll study programming languages and the so-called enabling technologies – graphics and databases. You’ll also begin producing your own software, working in teams. At this stage you’ll select form several optional modules as well.

    Year 3:   

    Year 3 consists almost exclusively of optional modules, so you can design your own course of study at this point. Roughly 1/3 of your efforts will be on a single large project, typically developing a large software application.

    Learning & Teaching

    The University of Birmingham is dedicated to providing highly personalised educational experience, and aims to provide 15 to 25 hours of contact time each week during term time in your first year, tapering off to 13-22 hours in year 2 and 9-20 hours in year 3. This contact time consists of lectures, laboratory practice and tutorials. 

    You’ll also be assigned a persona tutor for the duration of your studies, who will be on hand to support your academic work, make sure you develop transferrable skills, and to assist with any welfare issues you may face.

    Career Possiblities

    As of 2015/2016, 94% of U Birmingham’s computer science graduates either found degree-appropriate employment or went on to further study, according to the Destination of Leavers from Higher Education survey.

    University of Birmingham graduates have found careers working with global tech giants, and in all levels of technology in many industries. Others chose careers in research, teaching, finance or government.

    No matter what your chosen path, though, you would have the full support of the University’s career programs throughout your education and after.
