Course Summary

Develop your skills, knowledge and understanding of computing and the engineering behind computer programs and databases whilst designing, developing, and producing computer software packages.

You will study a range of modules, including software development, database systems, software engineering, and human-computer interaction, allowing you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject.

Our regular seminars and guest speakers allow you to learn from those working within the industry, increasing your understanding of real life situations you could face in your career.

You will also have access to a range of conventional and specialised equipment and software, such as Windows Azure, Teradata, and Tableau, helping to further develop your skills and understanding.

Under the guidance of our academic staff, you will undertake a development project based on your own interests. Recent projects examples have looked at the estimation of blood vessel widths in images of the human retina and exploring the potential of virtual reality in software design.

Careers

Due to working closely with industry experts to produce graduates with the skills to meet industry standards and requirements, you can work in a number of areas including:

software development
website design
network support
database development
research

Covering many different roles including:

Computer Systems Manager
Data Processing Manager
Software Engineer
Computer Analyst and Programmer
Computer and IT Consultant

Modules

The aim of your project is to give you experience in carrying out an independent software development project which is the culmination of your year of study in Computing and relevant to your future career plans. A typical project will contain all stages of the software development lifecycle and will be designed for usability. However, some projects, for example, more technical research-oriented projects, may lack some other these aspects and include others appropriate to the particular project.
