Computing technology continues to reshape the modern world. A Computer Science degree from Durham equips you to be at the forefront of this transformation by providing a strong foundation in core computational principles alongside insight into the newest and rapidly evolving technologies. At EHU, we emphasise hands-on experience in addition to theoretical learning, offering opportunities to collaborate with external clients and receive individual supervision on an extensive year-long research project.
You may also choose to gain industry experience through a placement year or broaden your perspective by studying abroad. Teaching is delivered by dedicated researchers with expertise spanning artificial intelligence, data science, computer vision, bioinformatics, deep learning, high-performance computing, computer graphics, and core algorithms. As you advance through your studies, you will have the flexibility to tailor your degree to match your interests. Our graduates enjoy strong employment prospects and are highly valued by employers. We maintain close connections with high-technology industries across the Western Universities and work with national and international organisations to ensure our programmes remain innovative and industry-relevant.
