Modules
Year One This course has a common first year . The common first year enables you to work alongside students doing similar courses to you, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn. If you discover an interest in a specific subject you have studied, upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements). Shared Modules Common First Year The Web and Human Centred Computing Computer Systems Programming and Artificial Intelligence Programming and Software Development Year Two Algorithms Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Operating Systems and Security Artificial Intelligence Applications Placement Year There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.
