    What will you learn

    Computing Science is about learning to program, right? Yes, but that is only a small part of the programme. As a computer scientist you learn how software works, how information is represented as digital data and the underlying mathematical and logical principles. You will study how all this is implemented in hardware like computers and digital networks and how to apply cyber security to protect IT systems.
