The number of students choosing to study computer science beyond A-level has increased in 2020, according to BCS.
Looking into figures from university admissions organisation UCAS, BCS found the number of people accepted on to computer science degrees in 2020 increased by 7.6% year-on-year to 30,090 students.
Julia Adamson, director of education at BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, said: “More students than ever before have chosen to study computer science at university. That is important because the government has stated that tech skills should be the ‘rocket fuel’ which powers the UK’s economic recovery.”
