Combined Bachelors teacher training option Computer Science

Computer Science researches the basic processes involved in information processing and the general methods of deploying these methods across a range of areas. Its aim is to use abstraction and modelling to go beyond a) the specific ways in which existing data processing systems are technically realised and b) the distinctive features of particular applications. By doing so we illustrate the general laws that underlie information processing. The aim of this programme is to present the essential principles, methods and tools of Computer Science independent of individual applications. Teaching provides a sound academic basis and reflects the latest developments within Computer Science. The course looks at current trends within Computer Science and its effect on other subject areas and society at large.
