Welcome to School of Computing, Informatics & Media. On this website you can find out about our forward-looking programme of teaching, research and industrial collaboration.
The School has a track record of developing innovative new interdisciplinary courses and being at the forefront of research across a range of areas. We were one of the first universities in the country to offer computer science degrees, broke new ground by creating a digital media programme with the National Media Museum and are part of the world’s first Media Academy Network devised by Skillset.
We blend academic excellence with real-world practical skills, and this is shown by industry recognition of our programmes by professional organisations such as the British Computer Society. Our students regularly win awards for the work that they produce during their studies and go on to have just as successful careers.
Our research was recognised as including world leading work across a range of areas from computer science to media studies in the recent Research Assessment Exercise. By being at the cutting edge of areas such as image processing, networks and artificial intelligence, alongside research on how media is created and consumed, we aim to play a key role in shaping and defining the digital future from a social, personal and technological perspective.
As you explore these web pages you should get a taste of the exciting work that goes on here. If you want to find out more, don’t hesitate to contact us about our courses, research activities or opportunities for collaboration.
Dr Ian Palmer from the University of Bradford kindly took some time out from his no doubt hugely busy summer schedule to speak to 'All About the Games' about the games related courses on offer at the University. Read the full article here.
See examples of student projects at our final year Degree Show on Monday 21 May 2012, 1-4.30pm, at the Norcroft Centre on the main University campus.
Many of our courses are available for part-time study over 4 to 6 years. Flexible part-time study routes are negotiated with students on an individual basis. Please contact our Recruitment Manager for information.
