Studying computer science at Manchester is interesting and fun. The School provides a friendly, lively and supportive environment for students of both genders and from all kinds of backgrounds and cultures. We offer a range of exciting undergraduate courses delivered by our worldclass teaching and research staff. Our learning environment supports students with no previous computing experience, but also challenges those already familiar with the subject. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge and skills to prepare you for a career shaping the future.

A significant amount of your work will be project-based teamwork, tackling real problems. This starts right at the beginning of your studies with the first-year team project. A major activity in the third year of all our courses is the project. Unlike the team projects in years one and two, the third-year project is an individual piece of work, often involving the construction of a significant piece of software or hardware.

Want to find out exactly what the School has to offer? Then come and visit us on one of the University of Manchester Open Days. You'll be able to meet with staff and students, see some demonstrations of the kind of technologies our students are exposed to, and find out more about our programmes, facilities and everything else that student life in Manchester has to offer. Our next University undergraduate open days will take place on Friday 22 June 2012, Saturday 23 June 2012 and Saturday 6 October 2012.
