Program overview
A three year honours degree in computer science, covering programming, algorithms and data structures, software engineering, systems, databases and a final year project.
Bath Spa runs computer science alongside computing, games development and creative computing, so compare the four before choosing.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the computer science degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the computer science degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the computer science degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the computer science degree does not support a family move.
Admission to Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science requires a recognised post-secondary certificate or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the computer science degree is recorded at GBP 18,585. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the computer science degree. The computer science degree lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the computer science degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
