4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program
Our Integrated Foundation Year will take you through a carefully-designed course to help you to progress confidently onto your undergraduate degree.
Engineering, Physical, Computational and Mathematical sciences underpin modern technological society and can help us provide answers to fundamental questions. Graduates with these degrees are highly sought after by employers. The Computer Science Foundation Year provides progressive structures in which you are able to gain knowledge and understanding of approaches to scientific study and your chosen degree subject.
All Foundation Year students take ‘Global Perspectives’, then four subject-based courses provide familiarity with Mathematics and computation – the language of modern science and technology, and key for success in science, technology and engineering.
Once you have completed your Foundation year, you will normally progress onto the full degree course, BSc Computer Science. There may also be flexibility to move onto a degree in another department (see end of section, below).
hroughout the program, students engage in practical projects and have access to well-equipped laboratories, allowing them to work with technologies such as programming games, robots, and more. This hands-on approach enhances their practical skills and prepares them for real-world challenges.
The program's emphasis on both theoretical and applied aspects of computer science significantly enhances employability. Royal Holloway's Computer Science department is recognized for its research excellence, being ranked 17th in the UK by The Times Higher Education for research submitted to REF 2021. Additionally, the department was ranked 19th in the UK by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings in 2019, reflecting its commitment to excellence in research and education. These accolades underscore the department's strong reputation, providing graduates with a solid foundation for future career opportunities.
