MEng Computer Science with Innovation
About this course
Computer science with innovation is a degree designed for the kind of technically rigorous and creatively ambitious thinker who wants to build new things, not just maintain existing systems. It recognises that the great technology companies and products of the coming decades will be created by people who can move fluently between technical depth and broader creative, humanistic, and entrepreneurial thinking. The innovation component of the degree is not a dilution of the computer science; it is an extension of it, adding the breadth of perspective and the collaborative and commercial skills that enable technical ideas to become real products and services. At Bristol, this four-year degree combines rigorous computer science training with exposure to arts, science, engineering, humanities, and enterprise, developing the breadth of skills and qualities needed to work across specialisms and cultures. You will study the core of computer science, including algorithms, data structures, software engineering, systems, and artificial intelligence, alongside innovation-focused study that develops your ability to identify opportunities, work in diverse teams, and translate technical capability into products and services that meet real human needs. Bristol's research strength and its location in one of the UK's most active technology innovation ecosystems give the degree a distinctively entrepreneurial and collaborative character. Graduates of computer science with innovation degrees move into careers in technology start-ups, product development, innovation consultancy, and the full range of software engineering roles in established companies. The combination of technical depth and broader creative and commercial capability makes graduates attractive to employers who need people who can bridge the gap between engineering and business. Many graduates also found their own ventures, using the technical skills and entrepreneurial mindset developed in the degree. Postgraduate study in computer science, human-computer interaction, or entrepreneurship is available for those who wish to develop further specialist knowledge.
