Computer science permeates almost every sector and industry today. Equipping yourself with the sought-after skills required to be a developer, software engineer, or related role places you in an exceptional position to thrive in the world of computing.


This course is equally ideal for those who want to complement their existing scientific knowledge with computer science skills, or for those from different disciplines who want to switch career paths to work in this field.


On this course, you will learn from renowned academics in computer science. The curriculum is based on the latest trends and is constantly updated due to the fast-paced developments in innovation and technology.


You will learn programming, artificial intellifence application engineering, computer architecture and algorithmics. You can also choose from optional modules that range from interaction design to machine learning.


You will also undertake a substantial project, either working with a company to help solve a real-world problem, or with a research group at UCL Computer Science if you are interested in further research or academia.


Through a combination of foundational and vocational training, we aim to future-proof our students. A recent PwC report shows growing demand for AI-related roles, but suggests the skills required are rapidly changing. For computer scientists, this means a shift in focus: less direct coding and more emphasis on designing and developing intelligent systems.


On this course, you will develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to adapt in the dynamic world of computing. You’ll learn in the heart of London in an inclusive environment alongside like-minded people from across the world.

Admission Requirements

4.5+
180+
7+
76+
A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree (or international qualification of an equivalent standard) in a subject other than computer science or information technology. This includes subfields of Computer Science such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Software Engineering, among others. Evidence should be included within the application to demonstrate suitable mathematical skills (to at least Mathematics A-level standard), and analytical skills. Although the programme is intended for those who are new to Computer Science, applicants must ensure they have standard computational thinking skills, as programming is a core part of the programme.
