Computer science is at the heart of almost everything we do, from the apps we use and the networks that connect us to the innovations that drive global industries. Constantly evolving, it demands curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills to keep pace with technological change.

The BSc (Hons) Computer Science programme at University of York, Mumbai gives you a strong foundation in computing principles and the tools that shape modern technology. You’ll study programming, algorithms, data structures, and software design, while developing critical thinking and analytical abilities that extend beyond coding. The course blends theoretical understanding with practical application, preparing you to design intelligent solutions, build robust systems, and lead innovation in an increasingly digital world.

Introduction

If you’re passionate about technology and curious about how it shapes the world, the BSc (Hons) Computer Science programme is designed for you. The course builds your understanding of how computers work, how software is created, and how technology can be used to solve real-world problems.

You’ll learn through a mix of theory and practice, from coding and algorithm design to exploring areas like networks, databases, and cybersecurity. Along the way, you’ll take part in hands-on projects, workshops, and collaborative learning experiences that strengthen both your technical and problem-solving skills.With guidance from experienced academics and exposure to industry-relevant tools, you’ll graduate ready to build intelligent systems, design innovative solutions, and make a meaningful impact in the digital world.

Accreditation

Most of our Computer Science programmes are accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, the professional body for computing. We plan to seek BCS accreditation for this course once the first cohort of students graduates in 2026. BCS accreditation confirms that a programme fully meets the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered IT Professional (CITP) and partially meets the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) through the Engineering Council.
