Computer Science underpins the exciting information revolution we've been living through in the past few years: the Internet and the web, mobile phones, wireless networks, digital audio and video, social networking, massively multiplayer games, 3D films and the advent of autonomous robots. What these widely disparate activities have in common is the central role that Computer Science plays in their invention and continued development.

Computer Science at Pembroke

Pembroke is very close to the central lecture theatres and a short bus or cycle ride from the Computer Lab. The college is well equipped with networked computers for student use: the spacious computer room is equipped with PCs and printers, and all student rooms are connected to the University-wide high speed data network for fast access to email and the web. Thus if you wish to bring your own computer you may do so, but there are plenty of computers for communal use if you do not have your own.

Our Director of Studies (DoS) is Prof Anil Madhavapeddy. In common with other colleges, the role of the DoS is to fully support our students, this includes arranging supervisions to augment the lecture courses, normally given by PhD students who are experts in the relevant subject area. Pembroke is a medium-sized college, and we hope this makes for a welcoming, personal learning experience. We also maintain contact with other colleges, so gaining the study and social benefits of being in a larger group.

Gap Year
We are happy to make offers to computer scientists who wish to take a gap year, and we encourage those who are very young (i.e. would be coming up to Pembroke under 18) to defer. It is often possible to obtain useful experience and sponsorship with computer firms.

If you have any questions about admissions to Pembroke, please contact the admissions office. Please see the page about Computer Science on the University website for further information. The College holds open days where Directors of Studies and current students are happy to take your questions. You may also email to the Student Administration Secretary of the Computer Laboratory
