Computer Science resources

Explore the resources below for a taste of what it’s like to study Computer Science at Bristol.

Blogs and podcasts

Listen to our ‘turning insights into inspiration’ podcast series to hear from current students discussing their reasons for choosing to study a STEM degree at the University of Bristol  

Check out the ‘Engenius’ podcast series on Spotify to learn more about key concepts in STEM. 

Webinars/online lectures

This three-part lecture series on YouTube along with wider reading resources have been designed to provide comprehensive overview of Swarm behaviour. Swams are made up of simple individuals (such as birds, insects, robots and people) who collectively display complex, interesting behaviours. These principles can be applied to engineering and robotics to solve real-world problems. 

Part 1: An introduction to swarm robotics

Part 2: Design your swarm robot 

Part 3: Invest in research- Use these resources and watch the video before exploring the ‘Swarms Pitches'

Swarm's pitches:

  1. Human supervision of swarms 
  2. Saving the planet with swarms 
  3. Stochastic swarms 
  4. Expressive swarms  

Wider reading

Check out the self-guided learning resources and research by our Quantum Engineering Technology Labs who translate ideas into experiments that prototypes hardware for quantum computing and simulation, quantum imaging and sensing, and quantum communication.
