You’ll learn to code from scratch in Introduction to Programming, creating your own programs and developing problem-solving skills that translate across languages. In Introduction to Web Development, you’ll design and host interactive web pages, while Introduction to Cyber Security shows you how to protect systems from threats. Introduction to Artificial Intelligence opens the door to machine learning and intelligent problem-solving, and Working in the Computing Industry equips you with the teamwork, communication and research skills to thrive professionally. In your second year, you’ll deepen your programming expertise with Introduction to Functional Programming and Object-Oriented Development and Testing, tackling real-world challenges in an Integrated Group Project. Data Structures and Operating Systems gives you the tools to create robust, efficient systems. Option modules let you specialise to focus your expertise where it matters most. An optional placement year gives you the chance to put your skills into practice, earn valuable workplace experience and make industry connections before you graduate. Whether in a start-up, large company or public sector organisation, you’ll test your learning in real-life projects, strengthen your CV and return for your final year ready to specialise. In your final year, you’ll take on advanced topics such as Object-Oriented Design and Architecture, Programming Languages, Concurrency and Client Server Computing, and lead The Computing Project from idea to delivery. Option modules let you explore cutting-edge areas and by graduation, you’ll have both the technical expertise and the professional confidence to shape your future in the rapidly evolving world of computing. *Option modules are indicative and may change, depending on timetabling and staff availability.
