Here's what Northeastern University London says about its Philosophy & Computer Science course.
BSc (Hons) Philosophy & Computer Science combines study of Philosophy and Computer Science, and exploration of their intersections.
The Philosophy part of the programme is concerned with fundamental questions about, among other topics, the nature of reality, what we can know, and how we should act. It engages with some of the most searching, creative and influential thinkers of the past two-and-a-half thousand years. Students explore central questions, arguments, theories and texts concerning the world and our place within it, developing rigour and clarity in thinking and writing.
Computer science in this programme cultivates the knowledge, techniques, and tools to develop effective and secure computer software according to legal, ethical, and professional frameworks. Students study the fundamentals of programme design including object-oriented design, software development, computer organisation, systems and networks, theory of computation, principles of languages, and advanced algorithms and data.
Students acquire programming and software development skills as well as a combination of analytical, critical thinking, and research skills. They also develop communication and problem solving capabilities that are highly prized in the evolving employment market. These valuable and transferable skills open a wide array of career possibilities upon graduation.
Interdisciplinary study This degree programme combines a rigorous philosophy and computer science syllabus with a personalised elective pathway. Students can choose to deepen their focus on philosophy and computer science through their elective courses, or they can further contextualise and broaden their studies with courses that match other interests and goals. Focus on one subject or study multiple subjects.
Discipline Pathways include:
Art & Design Business Computer Science Creative Writing Data Science Economics English History Law Philosophy Politics & International Relations Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE)
Global experience Northeastern University London offers students exciting global experience opportunities. By coming to study with us you have the opportunity to embrace a global mindset from day one, integrating yourself into a diverse community with students from across Northeastern University’s Global Campus Network.
Semester abroad Our degree programmes offer you the opportunity to spend a semester abroad studying at Northeastern University’s campus in Boston, Massachusetts. You’ll enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which includes opportunities to expand your horizons and network, engage with another culture, develop your independence, and experience learning in a different style and environment.
Double degree In addition to three year UK degree programmes, Northeastern University London offers unique opportunities for students to study for two globally recognised degrees simultaneously over 4 years – a UK undergraduate degree awarded by Northeastern University London, and a US bachelor’s degree awarded by Northeastern University (Boston, MA.) Double degree students undertake their fourth year of study in the USA.
There are also options to study for a UK undergraduate degree and a US masters degree over four years, or a UK undergraduate degree and UK masters degree.
