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 industry.
With students spread across our range of undergraduate (BSc), integrated Master's (MComp), and postgraduate courses (MSc by Research/PhD), the subject offers an exciting, thriving, and expanding environment in which to study and develop.
Our Science Foundation Year is designed to open up an exciting world of opportunities within science, healthcare, or engineering related subjects for students who may not have the standard entry requirements for a degree.
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.
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.
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.
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. Those studying Games programmes may work across the games industry as developers, tools programmers, artificial intelligence programmers, level designers, mission scripters, games testers, and in many other roles in the wider IT industry.
At Lincoln, we undertake a blend of fundamental, applied, and interdisciplinary research. There are particular strengths in computational neuroscience, machine learning, data analytics, robotics, medical imaging, AI in healthcare, and many aspects of human–computer interaction and games computing.
Our military programmes provide an opportunity for serving and retired military personnel to gain internationally recognised postgraduate awards.
