Computer Science BSc (Hons)

In your first year, you will study the basics of computer science.   More specifically, you will use client-server architecture appropriately and study the security implications. You will analyse small-scale problems and design their solutions by applying algorithmic and mathematical techniques. The creation and manipulation of simple data collections, web development and programing would also feature in the foundation year.

In your second year, you tailor your study to your strengths while developing a deeper understanding of user interface design, robotics and Cyber Security. More so, you will demonstrate professional responsibility in the development of medium-scale projects.  You will have the opportunity to undertake a work placement, which will provide you with valuable and exciting experience within an area you may be considering for a career.

As you progress into the third year, you will study some of the important and higher level Computer Science modules that include topics such as Internet of Things, Deep Learning, Web Application Development and Game Design and Development.  Each of these modules develop your ability to think and analyse critically, and also to reflect and develop both personally and professionally with the aim of considering the role and career which you wish to undertake when you graduate. You will undertake a dissertation or final year project which will allow you to explore an aspect of Computer Science in greater detail.
