Course summary
With our BSc (Hons) Applied Computing degree, you’ll gain an insight into IT and computing industry practices. Alongside developing your technical knowledge and skills, you will also gain an understanding of how these skills are applied in an organisational context by learning about systems analysis, project management, software development, the management of data and the administration of information systems. You’ll start by studying the core technical subjects of programming, computing mathematics, web development, computer architectures and databases, developing your team working and communication skills as you go. You’ll then begin to specialise, studying topics such as IT project management, systems analysis and design, the software development process, computer networks and the implementation of database models. As you progress into your final year, you’ll learn about IT systems operations and administration, data management, database architecture and performance and you’ll conduct a large-scale project. In addition to the computing skills you will develop, you will also gain key employability skills such as team working, report writing, communication and negotiation skills. FEATURES AND BENEFITS
