Bachelor Programme
Computer Science
Warwick's BCS-accredited BSc Computer Science is one of the longest-established computer science degrees in the UK and is taught from first principles, so no prior programming is needed, only strong mathematics. Year 1 covers advanced mathematics, computer architecture and programming alongside theoretical computing; Year 2 moves on to operating systems and networks, databases and software engineering; and Year 3 centres on an individual project supervised by research staff, with options such as artificial intelligence, computer graphics and security throughout. Students can add a year in industry, research or study abroad between Years 2 and 3. Entry is through UCAS (course code G400, institution code W20), and applicants must sit the TMUA unless they are eligible for a contextual offer.

Admission Requirements
- A levels: typical offer A*A*A including A* in Mathematics (Further Mathematics highly recommended but not essential; only the top three grades are considered). Contextual offer A*AA including A in Mathematics
- IB Diploma: typical offer 39 with 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 7 in HL Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches only); contextual offer 38 with 6 in HL Mathematics (AA)
- TMUA required for 2027 entry (2026-27 application cycle) except for contextual-offer applicants; the score threshold is set once all results are in and is not published
- Warwick does not typically interview applicants; offers are based on the UCAS application (predicted and achieved grades, personal statement and reference)
- English language (Warwick Band A), if required: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with at least 5.5 in each component (one sitting); TOEFL iBT 4.5 with at least 4.5 in each component (tests from 21 January 2026; earlier tests 87 overall with at least 21 Listening, 21 Writing, 22 Reading and 23 Speaking); or PTE Academic 60 with at least 59 in each communicative skill (Warwick's English language page still lists these scores for September 2026 entry, so check for 2027 updates before booking a test)
- Contextual offers (typically one or two grades lower) are available to eligible UK applicants; other UK and international qualifications are listed on the Warwick course page
