计算机科学致力于改变我们未来的生活。它将塑造人们每天与之互动的技术。将来，计算机科学将改善我们几乎所有沟通，互动，旅行和经商的方式，因此，世界将需要计算机科学家。它特别涉及计算机系统的规格，设计，构造和使用。它涵盖了诸如软件工程，硬件体系结构和设计，信息系统，通信，图形，仿真和建模，人工智能以及人机交互等主题领域。计算机系统通常本质上非常复杂，并且必须可靠运行，并且我们的计算机科学学位课程提供有关设计和维护此类系统所需的许多概念和方法的知识和专业知识。
Computer Science is concerned with transforming how we live in the future. It will shape the technology that people interact with on a daily basis. In the future, virtually all of the ways we communicate, interact, travel and do business will have been improved by computer science and because of this, the world will need computer scientists. It is particularly concerned with the specification, design, construction and use of computer systems. It embraces subject areas such as software engineering, hardware architecture and design, information systems, communications, graphics, simulation and modelling, artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. Computer systems are often highly complex in nature and must be reliable in operation, and our Computer Science degree programmes provide knowledge and expertise in many of the concepts and approaches, which are required to design and maintain such systems.
