Computer Science - BSc (Hons)

Queen Mary University of London

With the digital world rapidly evolving in every industry, find yourself at the forefront of solving today’s biggest technological challenges.

Is quantum computing the future? Can we predict when the next big earthquake will happen? How can we stop the next major cyber-attack? Will autonomous systems revolutionise healthcare and transport? Technology is part of our future, and it is up to people like you to decide how it will impact and shape our world.

Machine learning, data science, web programming, computer networks and security engineering – these are just a few of the areas you can explore. With your newfound skills, figure out how to design software solutions that address cutting-edge challenges in science, engineering, healthcare, and many other areas.

Step into a world of opportunity

Taught by our award-winning and research-leading academic team, you’ll be able to choose which areas to specialise in. Tailor your modules to your interests and career aspirations, such as big data, computer games or social network analysis.

Ranked 8th for computer science and information systems in the UK by QS World Rankings by Subject (2025) and joint 1st for impact in the last Research Assessment Framework (2021), the research that underpins our course really has been built to reflect the global challenges of today.

After graduating, a career in computer science could see you testing trading systems at an investment bank, designing artificial intelligence algorithms for healthcare, or researching innovations in computer vision, music and speech. What will you choose?
