If you study Information and Computing Science BSc at XJTLU, you can study Computer Science BSc (Hons) – Algorithms and Optimisation pathway at the University of Liverpool on the XJTLU 2+2 programme. View other pathway options or see all XJTLU 2+2 programmes.
The Algorithms and Optimisation pathway focuses on the theoretical modelling of algorithms and their properties. You'll learn how to complete complex tasks more efficiently.
Many problems are highly complex and difficult to solve, even by a computer. They require solutions designed to exhibit predictable behaviour in terms of their computational cost and data requirements. More precisely, we’re interested in developing algorithms with provably good performance in terms of runtime and memory requirements.
Topics covered in this specialism include:
Discover what you'll learn, what you'll study, and how you'll be taught and assessed.
Choose at least 30 credits from the following module options:
On the 2+2 programme, you'll study your third and fourth years at the University of Liverpool. These will be year two and year three of the University of Liverpool's programme of study.
