Computing at the University of Bradford
We believe that technology should benefit everyone and that everyone should have the opportunity to work within an exciting and future-defining discipline.
Our courses have been carefully designed to promote openness and inclusivity for all – we do not require students to have previously studied IT or Computing A levels or BTECs. Our curriculum begins from first principles, both practical and theoretical, to bring everyone up to a high standard of knowledge and expertise while still challenging and motivating those with previous subject knowledge through open-ended and extensible practical tasks.
We strongly believe that employability and practical skills, built on solid theoretical foundations, are critical for student success after graduating from our University. We embed the development of employer-focussed skills and experience into our programmes in many ways. Our module contents and curricula are built around input and feedback from our Industry Advisory Board, providing a direct line for industry experts to shape our taught content. We also embed opportunities to work on live industry projects directly into our modules, with projects available to students from both internal and external group to the University that have real problems to be solved, requiring students to produce real solutions and gain real experience.
As one of the oldest computing departments in the UK, we have a strong heritage.
Our courses are accredited by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT.
The BSc (Hons) in Computer Science for Cyber Security is provisionally accredited by National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

Meet our students and alumni
This is where I code my future
"While I was studying, I collaborated with a lot of companies such as people coming in as part of a module to show us how the industry works. They also offer work opportunities, in terms of placement, and internships. We can apply computer science anywhere."
