BSc (Hons) Computing

... United Kingdom
... Birkbeck University of London

Course Overview

BSc Computing aims to develop knowledge, technical skills, and self-directed learning skills in computing, especially in areas affected by rapidly changing information technology. Final-year students carry out a complex real-world computing project. Modern computing and information system skills often become obsolete as new technology is developed. Therefore the program strikes a balance between learning current skills, which are important in the marketplace, and emphasizing the underlying theories, which last longer and which provide a sound basis for developing new skills, techniques, technologies, and even new theories. The social and organizational impacts of information technology are also included.

Graduates are ideally suited to IT and computing-related roles in a range of companies. These include:

systems analyst

programmer

software engineer

web developer

project manager

IT consultant

database developer.

We offer a comprehensive Careers Service - Birkbeck Futures - your career partner during your time at Birkbeck and beyond.
