Welcome from the Head of Department
Welcome to the Department of Computer Science at the University of York, one of the leading Computer Science departments in the UK for teaching and research.
This is an exciting time for the Department; in Summer 2010 we move to a purpose-built, state-of-the-art new Computer Science building on the University's Heslington East campus development. This will allow us to provide better facilities for our students, staff, and visitors and will contribute to our continued excellence in teaching, learning and research.
