Computing specialists communicate with a wide range of people (managers, users and colleagues) and must be aware of the business implications of the decisions made. They must be familiar with appropriate tools and techniques, and skilled in their application. While our course is focused on the latest tools and techniques used in the computing industry, it also prepares students to be lifelong learners, ensuring they can remain relevant in an always evolving employment landscape.
