The University of Portsmouth has a long and distinguished record of running very successful degree courses and prides itself on working at the leading edge of technology and learning methods. The University’s academic staff also maintain close links with the world of work, both locally and further afield, ensuring that our courses reflect the current and future needs of commerce and industry. Furthermore, many of the units available are strongly research oriented and we have active research groups in a number of areas – for example, artificial intelligence, parallel and distributed systems, and healthcare informatics.

Computers dominate our work and leisure. In recent years they have infiltrated almost every element of our lives. In a society that relies on pressing buttons to get results, we need people to understand and advance the field of computer science (the study of software, programming, computation, information processing and computer hardware). If you have an interest in how computers work and a curiosity regarding their use at a detailed level, then computer science is for you.
