Description
Graduates who can offer employers a thorough understanding of the application of computing to business situations, in addition to another specialism, are in great demand.
This degree lets you combine the subject of computing with another of your choice. Optional subjects include business administration, philosophy, film, languages and many others. These courses focus on the practical application of computers rather than the more theoretical aspects of computer science. You can choose to spend either a half or a quarter of your time studying computing the remainder is spent studying your other subject.
Many students choose to do a year in industry. This gives you work experience, a salary and the possibility of a job with the same company after graduation. The Kent IT Clinic option offers the opportunity to learn how to become an IT Consultant by providing computing support to local businesses while earning credit towards your degree.
The School of Computing is an internationally recognised Centre of Excellence for programming education, with 95% of our research judged to be of international quality. The School is also home to two National Teaching Fellows, authors of widely used textbooks and award-winning Java teaching systems such as BlueJ and Greenfoot.
