Department of Computing at Goldsmiths, University of London

96% of our academic research was judged 'internationally recognised' by the 2014 Research Assessment Exercise, of which 68% was classed as 'internationally excellent'. Goldsmiths Computing is in the top 20 computer science departments in the UK for research intensity - and in the top four in London, along with Imperial, UCL and Kings College (Source: Times Higher Education Supplement).

As a student here you'll really get to create the software you want to create – it’s why you’ll be working on your own projects from the start of your degree.

• Awarded over £15 million in research grants in the last five years, we have a unique vision of computing research as an interdisciplinary set of practices, methods and techniques.

• As a result, our research renews and invigorates computer science as a discipline through a range of unusual forms of engagement and activity: artistic works, musical performances, social science studies, alongside the more traditional peer-reviewed paper outputs.
