卡迪夫大学计算机信息科学学院下设了以下几门计算机科学的相关专业,分别有:
Advanced Computer Science/Advanced Computer Science with placement, Computing/Computing with placement, Computing & IT Management/Computing & IT Management with placement。
专业名称后加上with placement表示:可以付费进行7-10个月的实习或者工作,也就是会多读一年,这一年中的7-10个月就是给同学完成placement的。
就读有placement的专业的同学,在placement完成之后,再回校进行论文写作和答辩。
Advanced Computer Science

其实,Computing with placement和Computing提供的课程是一模一样的。Computing with placement也是五门必修课程,一门选修课程。只是可能课程时间安排得不太一样。另外就是placement的差别了。
课程特色
卡大下设的计算机相关专业还算比较全面,不仅有传统的计算机科学信息专业,比如Advanced Computer Science,也有与管理相结合,并且适合本科非计算机专业的Computing & IT Management和Computing。
而Computing & IT Management和Computing的差别在于:
Computing着重于如何运用软件解决企业中出现的问题,并且运用重要的计算机语言(比如java和python)来学习编程;
Computing & IT Management的课程中,虽然也会涉及到Computing中的部分内容,但其实课程的重点还是放在了Management上,着重于如何运用软件,电脑系统来支持企业运作,来管理IT人员。
其实,卡大计算机相关专业最特别之处就在于它的placement。
申请要求
Computing (with placement)/Computing & IT Management (with placement):
这两(四)门专业要求申请者的本科专业是非计算机专业;
非大学毕业的同学(也就是没有学士学位的同学或者是没有拿到毕业证书的同学),如果有相关的工作经验的话,校方也会予以考虑;
平均成绩75分以上;
雅思总分6.5,单项不低于6。
Advanced Computer Science (with placement)
要求申请者本科专业是计算机科学或计算机或其它相关专业;
