You can choose from a range of options, including machine learning, data science, cyber security and forensics, and wireless and mobile technologies. You will gain practical experience in the analysis and understanding of problems, systems and structures through case studies. As a result, you'll be equipped to deal with the intense demands of modern computer science and to respond with solutions that meet the needs of commerce, industry, or research. This course is accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT: Partial CITP and Partial CEng (Further Learning). An accredited degree entitles you to professional membership of BCS.

Graduates from this Computer Science course are equipped for employment in industry, commerce or research with proficiency in the key theoretical and practical areas in computer science, including their application to modern software systems development.

Modules

All prospective computing professionals need to understand the diverse and rich environment in which modern distributed computer-based applications and systems are developed. The development process is often complex, driven by continuous changes to the technology and business processes in which the systems are embedded. It involves a wide range of skills in analysis, design, programming, testing and implementation, as well as selection of appropriate tools, techniques and development products. This development process must comply with a governance framework derived from the enterprise and stakeholder concerns. It must be managed in the context of the systems life cycle to ensure quality, effectiveness and efficiency of both the process and the product. Additionally, the systems development process is a collaborative one involving multi-discipline teams of developers. This course addresses these issues, focusing on the process and management aspects of the building of systems using a critical evaluation and application of modern methodologies, techniques and tools.
