The Department of Computer Science
Exeter’s Department of Computer Science delivers world class research and education in computation and its applications driven by a community of over 1200 students and 80 academic staff. Powered by a £50 million investment in Data Science and AI, we are a growing community with world-leading researchers in AI, Secure and distributed systems, Computation and society, and AI for Health, Humans and Wellbeing.

Our research applies computational thinking to address real-world problems in, for example, environmental sustainability, security and health. Insights come both from a deep understanding of the capabilities of computing algorithms and architectures and also from engagement with people and organisations. Key partners are the Met Office, South-West Water, National Air Traffic Services (NATS) and many others, we solve challenges in how to design computing systems for a complex world.

Our portfolio of educational programmes includes undergraduate degrees, degree apprenticeships, and postgraduate taught programmes. Our vibrant international staff and student communities brings together diverse perspectives from across the globe and we actively promote equality, diversity and inclusivity.
