About Computer Science, BSc (Hons) - at Lancaster University Leipzig

Computer science is a vast but specialised subject. As a result, our degree equips you with the technical and professional skills necessary to apply yourself to a broad range of careers. Our UK graduates have gone on to work with major technology companies such as IBM, Google, BBC, and BAE. Others have chosen to take their software design, development and management skills to SMEs. Some have set up their own technology-centric businesses. Many of our computer scientists also elect to study for MSc or PhD qualifications.

In the first year, you will receive a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of the discipline, combined with their modern day application. Throughout your study, you will gain skills and experience from a range of modules: Software Development, Fundamentals of Computer Science, Professionalism in Practice, or Digital Systems. Taking a practical approach to learning, you are encouraged to build and analyse systems and software. You will also work with end user feedback to refine and adapt solutions.

After gaining an overview of the subject in the first year, you will be motivated by topics that become progressively deeper and more specialised throughout second and third year. You will explore the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence, preparing you for the more advanced AI modules in third year.

Your third year gives you the opportunity to explore a range of well-constructed and enriching modules. You will undertakean individual project with one of our academics. This allows you to use and further develop the skills acquired throughout your degree.
