Computer programmes have a direct impact on almost every aspect of our lives. As our digital world evolves, we need more computer scientists to research, design and develop the frameworks behind our everyday technologies.
Bringing together industry insights and cutting-edge facilities, you’ll develop your skills in a dynamic community. You’ll learn from experts who are tackling real-world problems - connecting football fans with 4G, or collaborating with leading companies in artificial intelligence (AI).
You’ll also have access to our Future Technologies Labs. This student-focused hub offers high-spec computers with state-of-the-art coding, development and modelling software, and dedicated project workspaces.
Our Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) programme can help you settle into student life. Sports clubs and societies also offer opportunities to take part in game jams, hackathons and interactive workshops.
By studying at Sussex, you’ll investigate:
the fundamentals of computer science
the principles of adaptive behaviour and intelligent systems
applications including robotics and text mining
bio-inspired computing
computational modules
digital media content and game production.
You can even shape your degree to your interests by specialising in technology or cognitive science - the interdisciplinary study of intelligence and mind.
In the past, our graduates have progressed to fields including programming, games development, user experience (UX) architecture, business analysis and management consulting.
