With the support of your tutors, you will learn about some of the essential facts, concepts, principles and theories relating to computing and computer applications. You will be able to demonstrate skills that underpin good practice in the field of computers and computational methods, e.g. laboratory tasks involving the creation of simple programs and the use of operating systems. This will help develop your understanding of hardware issues, including interfacing and data communications, and their impact on the overall design and performance of computer-based systems. Modules Database Systems Software Development Methodologies Information Security and Governance Quantitated Methods Programming Fundamentals Computer Systems and Architecture YEAR 2 (LEVEL 5) Level 5 continues teaching you the fundamentals of the discipline, and more specialist modules start to be introduced. You will also undertake a group project where you will gain important skills in project management techniques and the professional and ethical issues of project management. You will also deepen your knowledge and understanding of computing concepts and approaches for complex problems through the application of several existing artificial intelligence techniques for learning and optimisation targeting real-world problems. Modules User Experience Design Full-Stack Development Secure Software Development Systems Engineering and Project Management Cloud, Distributed Architecture and Security Group Project YEAR 3 (LEVEL 6) Once you reach your final year, you will further develop your skills through taught modules and research, with a focus on the latest developments in your chosen discipline. You will also undertake an individual final year project, which will help prepare you for the kind of tasks and situations you may encounter in the workplace. The final year practical and project work will further develop your analytical skills through the analysis and appraisal of current and emerging technologies, taking into account their impact on society. Modules DevOps Data Analysis and Visualisation Defensive Security Emergent Technologies Project There is an option to start the programme at Foundation Level, while some students may benefit from the experience gained from an additional, but optional industrial placement year.
Assessment method
The programme team take a balanced approach to assessment strategy with respect to group work and individual development opportunities. Extensive use of the JIRA project management cloud platform is used to track student progress towards goals and milestones. This has proven to be a beneficial tool with respect to personal development and critical time management skills. Where applicable, assessments are linked to real-world projects or based on current industry trends and issues. In addition, project modules serve as a platform for enterprise activities. At postgraduate level, assessments are research focused and students are encouraged to experiment with the latest technologies and software whilst embedding best research practice.
