The first year of the Computer Applications course will be devoted to gaining a strong competence in computer programming and to acquiring essential mathematical skills. In subsequent years, specialisms in software engineering will equip you with the necessary skills to create software and innovative ways of using it. Examples include web applications, computer games, mobile applications and the software that is contained in the devices we use on a daily basis (e.g. mobile phones, entertainment systems and cars). In Year Three, you’ll have the opportunity to spend six months on paid work placement. The INTRA programme integrates academic study with closely related jobs and will help you to stand out in the graduate employment market. You’ll complete major projects in Years Three and Four. These projects provide an opportunity for you to put into practice the software development techniques studied in class.
