BSc (Hons) Computing

1. Software Engineering 2. Computer Games Development 3. Computer Networks and Security

Computing is a creative activity which applies appropriate technology to the solution of problems. Computing professionals are involved in the investigation and analysis of problems, the design and evaluation of feasible solutions and the implementation of cost-effective ways of meeting user needs. They must communicate with a wide range of people (managers, users and colleagues) and be aware of the business implications of the decisions made. Our BSc (Hons) Computing students learn how to stay up to date with the latest tools and techniques and practice their application to real-world problems. The programme offers optional modules that focus on the specialised areas of:

• Software Engineering

• Computer Games Development

• Computer Networks and Security

The programme’s diverse curriculum and highly practical focus equip our graduates with the necessary skills to have a successful career in the industry. The programme is proud of its high student satisfaction rate, internship and placement offerings, technology-enhanced learning environment, high employability rate and industry collaborations. Our BSc (Hons) Computing programme is accredited by the British Computing Society (BCS), the Chartered Institute for IT, as meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional (CITP), and by BCS on behalf of the Engineering Council of the UK, as meeting the academic requirement for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially meeting the academic requirement for Chartered Engineer (CEng).
