Computer Science with Study Abroad MCompu (Hons)

This wide-ranging degree includes a year studying abroad and a year of study at Master's level, providing you with deep understanding on a range of computer science topics, as well as an international study experience. You can explore all of our computing specialisms such as games design, bioinformatics, and security in your first two years and see where your interests lie. You then continue with a broad spectrum of topics from across our full range, and will graduate with breadth and depth of knowledge. Our MComp degrees involve an additional year of advanced study during which you follow Master's-level modules from one of our MSc programmes. This provides you with a deeper level of knowledge that some employers will look for when recruiting. In the present job market, computing science graduates are better placed than many others to obtain employment in a challenging and fulfilling career, and the employability of Newcastle graduates is particularly high. Computing manufacturers and software houses, for example, recruit specialists to develop software solutions. Organizations that use computers on a large scale – such as banks, insurance companies, the electronics industry, central and local government, and management in all areas of business – also offer employment opportunities to graduates with computing skills.
