Bachelor Programme
Computer Science
UCL's Computer Science BSc builds a strong base in programming, algorithms, the theory of computation and the mathematics behind computing, then moves on to computer architecture, databases, software and systems engineering. In second year students complete a team project set by an industry partner through the Industry Exchange Network (IXN), and the final year combines specialist options such as machine learning, cryptography and quantum computing with an individual project. Entry is through UCAS (course code G400), and applicants must also sit the TARA admissions test.
