Hide-Is this course for me?
The Bachelor of (Hons) Science in Computing is a one year post level 7 degree , which will provide you with the range of both theoretical and practical skills required to participate fully in the rapidly growing computing industry. The ethos of the course is to provide a strong core set of competencies in general computing - skills that are typically required by all companies working in IT.
The emphasis in this degree programme will be on individual independent learning. You will require a high level of motivation and maturity and should be capable of working in a team and of completing large assignments and research projects.
The programme is designed to build on the knowledge gained on the level 7 BSc in Computing. It will broaden the scope and depth of this knowledge and give you the skills required to carry out a range of both technical and managerial roles within organisations.
On completion of this programme you will have the ability to demonstrate specialist skills necessary for working in the computer industry. You’ll also have an understanding of emerging technologies and the factors driving future innovations.
Equally, you’ll have the ability to review available technologies, implement system modelling techniques, design and install computer systems while applying critical decision making skills in your selection of appropriate solutions.
