About your course This BSc (Hons) Computing programme provides a practical alternative to Computer Science and Software Engineering with a less theoretical, more vocational approach to the subject. The course covers contemporary topics within the field of Computing and allows students to develop sound practical skills as well as acquiring theoretical knowledge. The programme provides a good general purpose first degree in Computer Science and allows students to explore the subject and determine which specialization suits them best. The course covers core subjects, such as Programming, Software Development, Information Systems Development and Systems Analysis and Design. The core subjects provide the "backbone" to the programme and these are complemented by the three main themes, which are:
  • Web Development
  • Computer Networks
  • Data Analytics
Students will study the core subjects and the three main themes at an introductory level during the first and second year. In the final year they will choose options based on the theme that best suits them.
