Computer and Systems Sciences
Do you want to develop the digital solutions of the future? Computer and systems sciences is a multidisciplinary subject that covers all areas where computers and information technology (IT) are used by people and organisations.
Subject description
Computer science is the technical part that gives you knowledge of computers, programming, data communications and data processing.
Systems science contains two closely related areas. One is the interaction between IT, people and organisations. The other includes models and tools to analyse and design systems for both technology and people.
Information technology gives us new opportunities and affects more and more parts of our daily lives. Data science is a new and interesting area where you learn how to collect big data and analyse it. Information security will be increasingly important in a constantly connected society, with new ways of transferring money and increased risks of ID thefts and destructive viruses. Wireless communication, advanced computers and software allow us to create new professional roles, societal services, business ideas and companies.
Career opportunities
Graduates can pursue careers in areas such as data science, machine learning, information security, systems development, IT architecture, project management and immersive technology, as well as within strategic decision-making and the use of IT in business and society.
