What the college says

Computer science integrates well with subjects across the curriculum. It demands both logical discipline and imaginative creativity in the selection and design of algorithms and the writing, testing and debugging of programs; it relies on an understanding of the rules of language at a fundamental level; it encourages an awareness of the management and organisation of computer systems; it extends the students’ horizons beyond the educational environment in the appreciation of the effects of computer science on society and individuals. For these reasons, computer science is as relevant to a student studying arts subjects as it is to one studying science subjects.
