Course summary

Computer Science is the study of how the computer works, how to program them and how computer systems interact with each other. We often liken it to the “biology of computing” – looking at what actually happens at the heart of a computer, the processor and how the instructions that it is given are actually carried out as well as how to program it. In fact, there is a very strong programming element to this course that will marry practical and theory work to develop professional level skills. It is a science-based course with practical and technical aspects, and demands a good level of problem-solving skills, mathematical and logical reasoning, and a substantial amount of examined theory.
