Dive into computing and play your part in the technology changing our world.

In our day to day lives we’re surrounded by technology and systems that are constantly generating data. What is that data telling us and how can we use those systems to tackle the problems facing our world?

Our accredited computing courses at UEA offer you the space and support to explore these questions and more.

Go beyond what you read in the news about generative AI. Delve deeper into how we interact with systems and how different data models can help tackle challenges in all sectors, including those listed in UN Sustainable Development Goals in healthcare, education, transportation, agriculture, climate change and even space exploration.

Industry connections and commitment to boosting your employability mean you’ll learn both the fundamentals of computing science and how to build a future in a sector full of possibilities.

Join a thriving and innovative research community

The applications of computing spread into lots of sectors, including medicine, healthcare, education, transportation, manufacturing, retail, agriculture, sustainability and climate change. And that diversity is reflected in our research.

Our computing and data science research is spread across 8 core areas:

Colour and imaging
Computational biology
AI and data science
Smart emerging technology
Cyber security
Interactive graphics and audio
Health technologies
Marine and offshore computing

Current projects range from developing innovative algorithms to compute ‘how we see’, helping North Sea fishery industry sort their catch using image analysis and machine learning in the ocean to map the seafloor.

You’ll get involved in hands-on research or commercial projects proposed by our academics and we also offer internship opportunities. The outputs of our research feed the design of the courses we teach.
