It offers excellence in teaching, learning and research and puts students at the heart of its activities.
The benefits of this programme include:
Note on the project
The project is a substantial piece of practical work. It typically involves some programming plus many other aspects of computer science, information systems, or software development. You will be allocated a project tutor who will work with you individually, helping and guiding you through the entire project.
Your project enables you to extend and deepen your knowledge of computer science and to apply it in a particular context. You plan and manage the work yourself, with guidance from your project tutor and with the support of course material on key project issues. You will need to report regularly on your progress and to produce a final report at the end.
Module Synopsis
Computer Network Protocols and Architectures
This module gives you an opportunity to reappraise the fundamental principles of computer networks and to explore their internal architectures. You will study the ways in which they can be used and how network applications may be constructed.
Databases
This module provides you with the principles and techniques needed to develop relational database systems and give you solid practical experience in so doing. There is also an introduction to new and emerging trends in the field, e.g. object-relational databases, data warehouses, grid computing.
Further Object-Oriented Development
This module develops your understanding of object oriented technology in the analysis, design and implementation of software systems. It explores how concepts such as abstraction, encapsulation and inheritance can improve software quality and how standard architectures support the reuse of software components and distribution across multiple hosts. You will gain practical experience of a range of techniques and use a variety of industry-standard tools.
Project
The Project gives you the opportunity to extend and deepen your knowledge of Computer Science and to apply it in a new context. The project should be chosen to fit in with your programme of study, prior experience and personal objectives. On completion, normally you would deliver a substantial piece of practical work and an accompanying project report.
