Course Summary

This course introduces key concepts in the field of computer science and data science.

This course provides students with an opportunity to explore beyond the basics of programming and coding to develop strong theoretical knowledge in computer science. In addition to programming, students will explore the use of computers and their interactions with humans, including artificial intelligence and data organisation.

Lessons will encourage students to develop both a procedural and object-orientated approach to problem solving. Students will develop strong analytical skills whilst exploring the foundations of computer science and its
practical applications.

Students will get to experience life as an Oxford University student throughout their stay with us, whether they are attending guest lectures from inspiring speakers, in aspirational lecture halls and auditoriums, or graduating with a formal hall, to waking up in their University accommodation.

The Pre-University Preparation programme provides an immersive and broad University experience.
