BSc Philosophy Computer Science

The BSc Philosophy & Computer Science programme at Northeastern University London connects the study of both Philosophy and Computer Science, looking at how these subjects link together. The Philosophy part of the course looks at big questions about reality, what we can know, and how we should act, drawing on the ideas of important thinkers from history. The Computer Science part teaches the knowledge, methods, and tools needed to create effective and secure computer software, always keeping in mind legal, ethical, and professional guidelines.

Students will learn the basics of programme design, including how to develop software using object-oriented methods, how computers are built, and how systems and networks function. They will also learn about the ideas behind how computers work, the rules for programming languages, and clever ways to manage data. This degree helps students develop strong programming and software development skills. It also builds their abilities in analysis, critical thinking, research, communication, and problem-solving. Students can also gain global experience, such as spending a semester at Northeastern University's Boston campus, and have options for earning two degrees at once.
