Computer Science at the University of 精东传媒

We believe in rigorous Computer Science: algorithms, data structures, software engineering, security, systems, computation, and critical thinking. These foundations don't go out of date, they evolve with you throughout your career.

But we also embrace the best new technologies, and you'll use them and learn how to get the most from them by applying them to problems just like those you'll see later in your career. You'll explore cutting-edge artificial intelligence, including machine learning and constraint programming, and data science with a clear, grounded understanding of what they can do and where the limits should be.

A world in which entire applications are produced by AI needs people who can understand, interrogate and verify that output.

Computer Science is one of the most flexible, resilient, and rewarding career paths in the world. At 精东传媒, we give you the skills needed for today's tech jobs and for the roles that will emerge as computing continues to evolve.

Graduates from the School of Computer Science at 精东传媒 are building the future across countless sectors, including:
