Computing science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering used in the design and use of computers. The rise in digital technology has increased the demand for highly skilled professionals with a thorough understanding of key computing technologies, combined with the practical skills to solve software issues.

Our Computing Science BSc (Hons) degree is designed to introduce you to work in this exciting and constantly changing field. Throughout the programme, we teach the academic, professional and personal skills required to develop within this evolving industry.

This course will provide you with the opportunity to explore Computing Science from both an academic and a practical perspective. You will draw upon and develop a detailed knowledge of subject-related theory, technology, development methods and a range of professional and intellectual skills.

Situated in an iconic seaside town CU Scarborough opened in 2015 as 'Coventry University Scarborough Campus'. In September 2016 we successfully moved into a £14m state-of-the-art campus and became CU Scarborough. The Scarborough location was purposely selected to allow Coventry University to deliver cost effective higher education to students in the North-East.

CU Scarborough, part of the Coventry University Group, is dedicated to making higher education accessible to more people through our flexible study options. You shouldn’t have to put your life or career on hold in order to study.

At the moment, the world is full of uncertainty. We are constantly having to adapt to new ways of living, working, and communicating. Our plans for the next year, next month or even next week are continually challenged as government guidelines change.

CU Scarborough is committed to providing a course that fits around you.

Our state-of-the-art, purpose-built campus opened in September 2016.

As a CU Scarborough student you will have access to all the facilities you will need to support your studies and student life, all located in a modern, open plan campus. We are located in the new £50m sport and education campus, which also features the Scarborough Sports Village and Flamingo Land Football Stadium - home of Scarborough Athletic Football Club.

We are continuously expanding our courses, which mean our building is ever-changing. September 2018 saw the first cohort of Adult Nursing students begin their degree in our new clinical-skills lab and in September 2019 we opened a brand new drama studio to accommodate our Acting students.

We have gone from housing just 17 students in 2015, to over 600 students in 2019 and we are not stopping there.
