Computing - BSc/BSc (Hons) - Full-time

Sharing its first year with the BEng Computing degree, this course offers a thorough grounding in the principles and practices of professional computing. You’ll learn the basic skills of computing, including software development, human-computer interaction, database systems, software engineering methods and web technologies. Any theory you learn will be applied in a lab setting, giving you valuable practical experience that will form a solid foundation for the next phase of your studies.

This course offers direct entry into 3rd year, given the appropriate pre-requisites, allowing you to jump straight into specialised study. Flexibility is the key to this course: you'll graduate with the exact knowledge and skills you require to follow your chosen career path in computing. The skills you acquire depend on your choice of modules: you may wish to learn the techniques behind network systems, or perhaps the theory and practice of digital media. Whatever path you choose, you'll have the option of applying your learning in the workplace with an optional one year work placement. You'll gain valuable real-world skills and experience that you'll build on in your final year. View Full Screen
