In your first year, you’ll explore both the technical and professional sides of computer science. You’ll take on an industry-style design challenge while learning about teamwork, project management, ethics, sustainability, and EDI.
You’ll also build a solid foundation in algorithms, computational theory, and software systems, develop coding skills with object-oriented programming and core data structures, and explore how hardware and software connect through sensors, actuators, and feedback.
01
Smart Systems
Get ready to take control (literally) as you explore the world of smart systems. Learn how sensors, actuators, and control systems work together to bring machines and devices to life. Analyse how machines sense, react, and make decisions. Design and simulate control systems, the kind that keep robots balanced, cars on course, and industrial systems running smoothly. Using industry software such as MATLAB/Simulink and microcontroller platform (e.g. Arduino), you’ll build simulations, analyse system responses, and design control strategies. Through structured coding exercises and practical workshops, you’ll get comfortable working with feedback systems, transfer functions, and system stability. By the end, you’ll be able to model dynamic systems, design and test controllers, and understand the role of sensors and actuators in smart, automated solutions. It’s a practical, project-based experience built around real tools and real challenges.
02
Computer Science Fundamentals
You’ll dive into the world of computer science, breaking problems down, designing smart algorithms, and representing data in clever ways. You’ll explore how computers actually ‘think’, experiment with real-world challenges like scheduling tasks or keeping data secure and use tools like Python and GitHub to bring your ideas to life. Along the way, you’ll also look at the big picture, how computing shapes society, the environment, and everyday life. By the end, you won’t just understand how digital systems work, you’ll be ready to start building them yourself. It’s hands-on, creative, and gives you the foundations to tackle everything from coding to ethical tech design.
03
Object Oriented Programming and Data Structures
