Explore how quantum computing can tackle challenges beyond the reach of traditional computers

Our Computer Science with Quantum Computing BSc (Hons) is subject to validation

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise the way we solve some of the world's most complex problems, from drug discovery and materials science to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Governments, research organisations and global technology companies are investing heavily in quantum technologies, meaning demand is growing for graduates who understand both the fundamentals of computer science and the principles of quantum computing.

Our new Computer Science with Quantum Computing BSc (Hons) combines a strong foundation in computer science with an introduction to the emerging field of quantum technologies. You'll develop essential skills in programming, algorithms, software development and artificial intelligence, while exploring how quantum computing can be used to tackle challenges beyond the reach of traditional computers.

You'll gain an understanding of quantum computing concepts, including quantum algorithms, quantum programming and quantum information, and explore how these technologies could transform industries in the years ahead. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical problem-solving, you'll develop the skills needed to adapt to a rapidly evolving technology landscape.

This course offers an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of a transformative area of computing. Through hands-on projects, specialist facilities and teaching informed by the latest developments in the field, you'll graduate with the knowledge and future-focused skills needed for the next generation of computing careers.
