Therefore, programming can be a life changing experience as it changes the way that you think about the world around you. It will make you a more accomplished problem solver and much more resilient in life. This is why graduate recruiters in banks and management consultancies recruit heavily from university Computing departments, so it could lead onto an exciting career path that isnt necessarily Computer Science based. The possibilities are endless! The Computer Science course will, above all else, be relevant to the modern and changing world of computing. Computer Science is a practical subject where students can apply the academic principles learned in the classroom to real-world systems. Its an intensely creative subject that combines invention and excitement, that can look at the natural world through a digital prism. ThisComputer Science qualification showcases computational thinking, helping students to develop the skills to solve problems, design systems and understand the power and limits of human and machine intelligence.
