Do you want to design the apps people rely on, the systems that power society, or the tools that tackle real-world challenges? At Dundee, you don’t just study computing, you create with it.
This degree gives you the skills to design, develop, and deploy real software across a range of platforms. You’ll work on hands-on projects, collaborate in teams, and use the same tools as professional developers. You will build experience that’s grounded in practice, not just theory.
You'll explore key areas like cloud computing, AI, user-centred design, and ethical software development. You will build real systems that reflect how technology works in the world. Whether you're interested in apps, platforms, data, or design, you’ll gain the skills and confidence to shape your direction and your impact.
Create with purpose
Technology is everywhere, and how we use it matters. At Dundee, you’ll build software with a purpose: to improve lives, solve real problems, and respond to the challenges that matter most to you. Whether it’s designing accessible apps, working on sustainability, or helping people communicate better, you’ll learn how to make tech that has real-world impact.
Learn by doing
You won’t be sitting in lectures wondering when you’ll get to code, you’ll be developing real software from day one. You’ll design, build, and deploy systems using the same tools as professionals, from GitHub and Docker to cloud platforms like AWS. You’ll work in teams, solve real problems, and build a portfolio that proves what you can do.
Build your own path
Not every Computing degree needs to look the same. At Dundee, you can shape your studies around what matters most to you, building technology that reflects who you are and the difference you want to make. You’ll do this while being part of a community that shares your drive. In classes, labs, and group projects, you’ll be surrounded by people who care about the same things you do and want to help you succeed.
