Computer Science offers significant challenges, this is because it is a subject that encourages technological progress and breaking new ground, but this is what makes it exciting! Can you apply the concepts, knowledge and skills you have learnt in a creative way that others haven’t thought of before? Can you identify an area of computer science that provides further technological development? Seems challenging – but you are going to love it! Computer Science will expand your mind! Computer Science is offered at most prestigious universities either as a single honours or a joint honours subject studied alongside other disciplines e.g. Computer Systems Engineering, Computer Games Design, Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence, Mathematics & Computer Science and Computer Forensics. The very fact that you have been able to study Computer Science will help your future application be they for colleges, universities, apprenticeships or employment.
