Through the study of computer science, you'll learn how to understand the theoretical issues underlying a problem and how to engineer a solution. You can experiment with speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, machine translation, robot learning and control, computational biology or virtual reality.
As well as learning to program and think analytically, you'll be encouraged to work in teams and develop your communication skills. In the third year, half of your time is spent on a substantial individual project, giving you scope for creative and intellectual input.
We're the first computer science department in the UK to launch its own student-run software company. Choose Sheffield and you'll develop skills in programming, teamwork, communication, systems design, management and entrepreneurship.
Our courses are designed to challenge you and prepare you for a career in industry, commerce, research, teaching or management. Our inspirational staff are experts in their fields of research and we are ranked 5th out of 89 computer science departments in the UK for research excellence. This means what we teach you is relevant today and tomorrow.
We have guest lecturers from industry including Microsoft, Google, GitHub, IBM and ARM. You will have access to cutting edge facilities in The Diamond including virtual reality facilities, high-spec graphics PCs and a robot arena. Our computer suites are equipped with the latest hardware, software and operating systems. During your degree you'll work on real projects for real customers as part of core and optional modules.
As well as lots of practical experience, we'll give you the first-rate scientific grounding you'd expect from a leading Russell Group research university. You can specialise in areas including computer security, web development and mobile apps, robotics and machine learning, speech and language technology, or 3D graphics and virtual reality.
Take one of our four-year MComp degrees and you can participate in Genesys as part of your course. Genesys was the first student-led software development organisation in the UK and will give you the opportunity to gain real industrial experience with a great deal of personal responsibility.
