Undergraduate Computer Science

My placement year was honestly one of the most valuable parts of my degree, where I worked as a Product Security Engineer. I was working on live defence programmes, applying security frameworks and actually contributing to projects, which gave me hands-on experience I wouldn’t have been able to get otherwise and helped build my confidence in tackling real-world challenges.

Mark Lewis

BSc (Hons) Software Engineering

My favourite thing about Computer Science is the constant problem-solving and the feeling of building something from nothing. It is incredibly satisfying to start with a blank screen, write lines of code and eventually have working system that can actually solve real-world problems.

Kirstie Tingley

BA (Hons) Computer Science

My most memorable moment so far has to be completing my first forensic investigation using Autopsy and presenting my findings.

Evie Tarbuck

BSc (Hons) Computing (Networks, Cyber Security and Forensics)

The course allowed me to apply what I was learning to real projects, particularly through programming, systems work, and the final-year Research & Development project. Edge Hill played a truly special part in my life, helping me develop confidence, independence, and skills that have been invaluable both professionally and personally.

Callum O’Neill

BSc (Hons) Computing

The campus made the university stand out compared to others I looked at because I liked how everything was close to each other and the fact it was not in the middle of a city, but also not too far to walk into Ormskirk.

Luke Chadwick

BSc (Hons) Computer Science

The most memorable moment of my degree so far has been winning the Hackathon! They told us the theme would be an Adventure Game, so I made up a character called the Odd Wizard and some puzzles I could maybe code on the day. When they announced I was 1st, it was awesome! It was a great experience, and I look forward to future events by the department.

Rosie Freeman

BSc (Hons) Computer Science

My favourite thing about my degree subject has got to be how practical the seminars are. We are given opportunities to practice and execute what we've learned, along with support from lecturers. The department also hosts extracurricular activities, such as the Cyber and Research Club.

Edge Hill has combined academic support, real industry links, and great facilities to help me grow as a software engineer student.

Martin Adegbola Traore

BSc (Hons) Software Engineering

During my degree, Edge Hill University provided me with the opportunity to take part in an MOS (Microsoft Office Skills) Test in Microsoft Word 365 to become certified in the application. Using the support provided by the University, I was able score 100% in the test fast enough to rank at number 1 in the UK. 

Thomas Humphreys

BSc (Hons) Computer Science

The most memorable moment of my degree so far was developing a fully functional SCADA testbed with Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLCs, integrating anomaly detection, and simulating real-world attacks to validate system resilience.

Cristian Iacob

BSc (Hons) Computing (Networks, Cyber Security & Forensics)

With guidance from my tutors, I applied for placement opportunities and was fortunate enough to secure a position at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR).

Uzair Patel

BSc (Hons) Computer Science

My most memorable moment was definitely winning the end of year showcase for my final project. I was very proud of the Text-To-Speech System I had developed and it felt great to know all the hard-work and research had paid off.

Sarah Cantrill

Computer Science student

Having gone to an Open Day, I met the lecturers and staff who were all so lovely. That has remained true during the course of my studies, making me feel like an actual person rather than just a number.

Abbie Henderson

BSc (Hons) Computing (Networks, Cyber Security and Forensics)

In the world of data, no two days are the same. I do a lot of data cleaning using Python, which involves taking raw data and turning it into useful data that people across the wider business can use.

Morgan Lyons

BSc (Hons) Computer Science

If you are going to study at Edge Hill take advantage of the many additional events and extra-curricular activities on offer to make your CV stand out.

Peter Byrne

BSc (Hons) Computing (Networks, Cyber Security and Forensics)

"When I first started my degree, I struggled to settle in and found the course challenging – but the staff were so friendly and encouraging, helping me build my confidence. I loved it so much, I stayed to complete a Masters."

Jay Patel

BSc (Hons) Computing

Not many students get the opportunity to go and work in another country straight out of university but, thanks to the opportunities at Edge Hill, I’m ready for it.

Calvin Chiu

Computer Science student

Artificial Intelligence can only grow in the future as it becomes more and more a part of our lives. There will be an increasing demand for people with skills and understanding of robotics and AI.

Lucie Jones

BSc (Hons) Robotics & Artificial Intelligence

My favourite thing about my course is that it’s mostly hands-on and code-based practical tasks, which allows me to dive into programming to solve the task at hand.

Daniel Bracey

My degree has given me multiple opportunities that I would not have received otherwise. I would not have been able to achieve my goals without the Fastrack programme at Edge Hill University.

Declan Heron

BSc (Hons) Computing

The University and campus have a personal touch. The lecturers recognise and know their students well.

Élise Westbury-Jones

BSc (Hons) Computing (Networking, Security & Forensics)

My degree has widened my understanding and opportunities.
