We address real computer science challenges in real world situations. Our courses will give you a solid foundation in the core theory and skills underpinning Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, then support you in applying them in a multitude of situations.
We are software-oriented, including the use of software to control hardware, and particularly strong in human computer interaction and responsible innovation.
We offer BSc, MSci and MSc courses in Computer Science and Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence. Our undergraduate courses allow you to take an additional Year in Industry and our MSci courses can include an International Year studying at one of our carefully selected partner institutions.
We take a balanced and varied approach to assessments, allowing students to maximise their performance and experience a range of learning and assessment styles.
The School of Computer Science has invested heavily in improvements to teaching and study spaces in 2025. We have a range of study spaces to suit your individual style; whether you want to work with friends in our bright, airy atrium, collaborate on a group project in one of the pods, or prefer something a bit quieter, you can do it here. The campus library is also only a few steps away with coffee shops and places to grab a snack, dotted around the campus.
When studying Computer Science at Nottingham you will have access to 5 teaching and learning laboratories in the dedicated Computer Science building, including specialist Cyber Security and Robotics teaching labs. We provide machines but there is lots of space for you to plug your own in, and virtual machines providing access to Linux and Windows configured specifically for the work you will be doing.
We have close links to the Schools of Computer Science at our overseas campuses in Ningbo, China and Semenyih, Malaysia. You will work and study with students from these campuses during your time at Nottingham and there are opportunities for you to spend time at our international campuses for part of your studies. Teaching at both international campuses is in English and we’re proud to be able to offer this opportunity to you.
Our research spans foundations of computing, AI and machine learning, data science, computer vision, cybersecurity and human-robot interaction. Interdisciplinarity is at the heart of the School: we work in healthcare, bioscience, manufacturing and music. The most recent national research assessment exercise found 97% of our research to be world-leading or internationally excellent and our research environment – where our students also work – the best in the UK.
Our staff and students work closely with national and international industries. Employer-led sessions feature in our taught modules, some two-thirds of our flagship Year 2 Software Engineering Group Projects have industrial supervisors and our Year in Industry courses attract high-profile placements. Nottingham is the 3rd most targeted university by top UK employers, with 94.7% of Computer Science students going on to graduate level employment or further study (HESA 2025).
