What the college says

Computer Science is all about learning to reason. It can be seen as a series of puzzles with formal solutions. The first year is all about problem solving and learning to program. Students will have varying levels of programming skills so we will teach you how to write code from scratch. If you are a computer whiz then we have plenty of higher level activities to keep you going while the others catch up. We also look at problem solving methodologies like standard algorithms, decision tables and trace tables. In theory, we look at how information travels through a computer, different kinds of software, number systems, storing graphical data, external hardware and networking.
