Join the Digital Revolution
Society is in the midst of a digital revolution, from the smartphones we use to navigate our daily lives to the advances in artificial intelligence set to transform global industries. At Lincoln, our programmes aim to provide a broad foundation in computer science and provides students with the chance to develop the mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills required to succeed in the challenging and exciting modern computing and games industries.
Specialist Equipment and Industry Certification
Our students have access to a range of equipment for loan, including Raspberry Pi devices, smartphones, robots, and virtual reality equipment such as HTC Vive and Oculus Quest. Games Computing students have access to a specialist development laboratory, industry-standard software development environments, 3D modelling software, and virtual reality systems. Software development environments such as Unreal Engine 4, Unity Pro, and Visual Studio play a major part in the practical elements of our courses.
As a Microsoft Imagine Academy member and Cisco Academy member, we also give students the opportunity to gain industry recognised qualifications such as Microsoft Technology Associate and Cisco certification at no additional cost.
Emma Baskerville
BSc (Hons) Computer Science
The Computer Science programme at Lincoln has done an excellent job of providing a diverse range of topics relevant to the current industry. This has not only increased my confidence in my ability to enter the workplace, but it has also encouraged me to develop and pursue my own specific interests.
Career Development
Our courses aim to equip graduates with the mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills that make them well-placed for computer and technology-related roles across a range of sectors.
Recent graduates have secured roles at GCHQ and major companies including IBM, Google, Microsoft, CGI, Sky, Samsung, BT, and Accenture.
