School of Computer Science

Computers and technology permeate all aspects of business and social life. They are central to solving many of the big challenges facing society and are capable of affecting the lives of millions of people worldwide in a positive way. Professionals and researchers in these areas find innovative solutions, build scalable infrastructure, develop new products, manage data, improve efficiencies and facilitate communication. With a computational perspective on problem solving, designing systems and understanding human behaviour, they can apply these ideas and techniques to a number of disciplines including business, engineering, natural and social sciences and the humanities.
