ABOUT THE Department of Informatics
CAREERS The Careers Service and the Department of Informatics run
an 18 week Careers programme for Informatics students which
includes skills sessions and visits from top employers. Our
graduates go on to successful careers in a range of organisations
including banking, finance, management, and the major software
houses, where they work mainly on analysis, design, implementation
and maintenance of software applications and systems. Many of our
graduates alternatively choose further study. Recent graduates have
found employment as…. • Analyst Programmer, Airbus • E-Disclosure
Specialist, Stroz Friedberg • Financial Software Developer, goldman
sachs • Information Security Consultant, Merrill lynch • Software
Developer, Bank of America • Senior Software Engineer, Oracle • IT
Consultant, Detica • Management Trainee, Asian Media &
Marketing group • Post Doctoral Research Associate, Inovia
TEACHING STYLE Our department has a reputation for good teaching in
a friendly environment. We use a mix of teaching styles including
traditional lectures, small and large tutorial groups, practical
laboratories, individual and group projects, and provide
opportunities to speak to staff on a one-to-one basis. We have an
active research programme that we bring to bear on our teaching,
exposing all students in the final years of their courses to the
latest issues in the field.
STRUCTURE OF PROGRAMMES & ASSESSMENT All programmes include
flexible choices for you to follow your interests, usually in the
final year. Single honours students also undertake a supervised
project in their final year. Assessment is made using a mix of
conventional examinations, coursework, presentations, and
laboratory exercises.
LOCATION You will have access to over 170 fast PCs running Windows
and Linux. These are spread over several laboratories for the
exclusive use of the department. The King’s Computing Society
organises social and other activities, and first years are
allocated "Buddy" students from other years to help you settle
in.
SPECIAL NOTES The Department of Informatics is the new name for the
Department of Computer Science. The relaunched Department includes
the addition of research groups in two new areas (Robotics and
Telecommunications), in addition to the three Computer Science
groups of Agents & Intelligent Systems, Bioinformatics &
Algorithm Design, and Software Modelling & Applied Logic. The
titles of the undergraduate degree programmes remain unchanged, but
the selection of available optional taught course modules is likely
to expand even further to reflect the range of research interests
in the restructured department. All years of our programmes are
kept under constant review and we reserve the right to change and
improve them at any time.
