From the digital and social media revolutions to the recent generative AI boom, Computer Science has transformed how we work, connect and live.
Computer Science is more than programming. You’ll develop expertise in the specification, design and implementation of computer systems, while also gaining a strong grounding in the theories that underpin them.
Our nurturing department will support you throughout your degree, including helping you to undertake valuable work experience and guiding you in your journey to fulfil your career ambitions.
We’ve got more than £7 million in scholarships available for undergraduate and postgraduate students applying to study with us in the 2026/27 academic year, including our esteemed Exeter Excellence Scholarship - as well as regional automatic scholarships and partner scholarships with organisations such as The British Council, Chevening and The Beacon Trust.

Teaching draws upon our research strengths in artificial intelligence and high performance computing
"This year, I completed a group software engineering project, which allowed me to work with six other students in my year and work on a real-life problem-based task using strategies that are used in the real world.
This has directly set me up for the work I will be doing on my placement year and is one of the ways I have found Exeter has helped prepare me for my future career."
"Computer science is unpredictable and exciting and it’s never going to leave me bored. I’ve gained a huge amount of experience at Exeter, working on long-term, real life projects, doing things I never thought possible for a first year undergraduate.
Studying Computer Science at Exeter has been an amazing experience. Although I didn’t have much of a computer science background before university, the course here is really well-structured. It offers both a broad overview of different areas in computing and the opportunity to dive deeper into topics you’re most interested in."
There are a range of ways that you can find out more about undergraduate study at the University of Exeter. We run open days throughout the year where you can hear from current students and staff and visit our campuses as well as resources to help you find out more about studying with us.
Alternatively, we offer online open days or you can book onto a undergraduate Campus visit.
You can also see online virtual tour videos of our Streatham Campus, Penryn Campus and St Luke’s Campus.
