Study at the world-renowned University of London - from anywhere in the world
The BSc Computer Science programme is fully developed and taught by the same faculty that teaches on-campus at Goldsmiths, University of London. When you complete your degree, you’ll be invited to the university’s annual graduation ceremony in London.
The university provides a course syllabus and exam timetable at the start of every term, to help you balance your study commitments and meet your deadlines.
Leveraging Coursera’s online education platform to deliver the programme curriculum allows BSc Computer Science students to benefit from Coursera features such as interactive video transcription, in-course note taking, and seamless learning across multiple devices.
Degrees on Coursera are powered by technology that helps you spark meaningful connections with your faculty and peers. Courses include weekly pre-recorded video lectures, quizzes, and programming assignments. There’s no live attendance required, so you can keep up your studies during commutes or other short periods of spare time.
Students collaborate on group projects using Zoom and Slack, and can access instructors during office hours. Faculty are hands-on, expertly facilitating lively and thought-provoking classes and projects.

A unique vision from Goldsmiths Computing Research
Awarded over £15 million in research grants in the last five years, Goldsmiths Computing Research has a unique vision of computing research as an interdisciplinary set of practices, methods, and techniques.
As a result, their research renews and invigorates computer science as a discipline through a range of unusual forms of engagement and activity: artistic works, musical performances, and social science studies — alongside the more traditional peer-reviewed paper outputs.
96% of their academic research was judged 'internationally recognised' (2014 Research Assessment Exercise), of which 68% was classed as 'internationally excellent'. They are in the top-20 computer science departments in the UK for research intensity — and in the top four in London (Source: Times Higher Education Supplement​).
