Course summary

Building software to a specification is a challenging and vital skill in modern Computer Science, and this degree will give you the knowledge, experience and expertise to prepare you for a career in the exciting field of software engineering. On this degree you will study the fundamental elements of computer science before progressing on to team working skills in year two. This includes completing work started by other teams and working collaboratively with other teams – giving you valuable experience of working practices which are common in industry. Finally, you will move on to software testing, design patterns and generic programming, and you will complete a practical project, involving building a software system. Computer Science Facilities You will be taught in our new £32.5m Computational Foundry, a world class centre with state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, as well as networking and meeting spaces, which bring students, academics and industry together. Our facilities include; • Vision and Biometric Lab • Maker Labs • FIT Lab [Future Interaction Technologies] • Theory Lab • Cyber Security Lab • User Experience Lab • Visualisation Suite Professional Body Accreditation This programme is accredited by the British Computer Society, and allows graduates to join immediately as professional members.
