英國計算機專業(Computer Science, IT) 介紹
英國的教育機構在開發計算機系統和新型應用軟件方面一直處於領先地位，英國的計算機專家在互聯網和人工智慧方面取得了很多創新性的成果。因此，計算機及相關專業已經成為了香港學生赴英留學除商科之外的第二個受關註的專業。許多IT公司將研發中心設在英國，充分利用已形成的學術和行業合作關系。例如，IBM公司將其軟件開發部設於Hursley，規模居同行業之首。英國大部分大學都提供IT方面的專業，授予文憑或各級學位。
計算機專業主要包括以下幾個方向：
計算機科學(Computer science)
這是一個覆蓋面比較大的專業，比較註重理論研究，相對來說缺少應用性和操作性。大多數學校都開設了這個專業。計算機科學專業有兩種模式：一種是標準模式，適合有專業背景的學生學習;另外一種是特別模式，提供給沒有計算機相關背景的學生。特別模式的課程設置相對簡單，比較容易學習，為那些沒有計算機基礎知識，但是對此很感興趣的學生提供了一條進入計算機這個行業的捷徑。
軟件工程這個專業側重軟件的研究和開發，是應用性很強的專業，學生的就業情況也是非常好的。由於軟件工程專業的應用型很強，所以比較適合有很強計算機相關背景的學生。如果沒有計數機基礎或是相關教育背景的學生不建議選擇軟件工程這個專業。
網絡技術隨著互聯網的高速發展，目前對網絡技術人才的需求也越來越大，這個專業的就業前景被一致看好。網絡技術專業的課程設置主要包括網絡軟件發展(Internet Software Development)、網絡技術(Network Technologies)、多媒體安全介紹(Introduction to Multimedia Security)、軟件代理(Software Agents) 和安全與加密(Security and Cryptography)等課程。這個專業也屬於實用性比較強的專業，所以適合有計算機專業背景的學生學習。
