Why choose Computing at Imperial?

Computing at Imperial is helping to change the world we live in.

As well as giving you core computing skills, you’ll learn the fundamental mathematical and engineering principles that underpin them. So you'll understand what’s happening today and be able to adapt to what happens tomorrow.

We have strong links with industry, so you’ll be able to take advantage of industry-led research projects, guest talks and lectures, as well as placements at a range of companies and organisations.

You’ll have access to some of the best computing facilities in the UK, including three super computers for high performance computing and data science.

You’ll also be taught by researchers who are working on potentially life saving research – like Dr Ben GLocker and Miguel Monteiro Aires Barros, who have developed an AI algorithm that can identify different types of brain injury.

At Imperial, we place special emphasis on the fundamental principles underlying computing and on understanding the engineering considerations involved in computing system design, implementation and usage.
