During Semesters 1-3, students from all three of our computing-related degrees (Computing Science, Software Engineering and Business Computing) take the same core modules in Computing Science, plus two other subjects. Core topics include: Computational Thinking; Programming Using Java; Social and Professional Issues; and Data Structures, Objects and Algorithms. In Semester 1, Software Engineering students must also take a Mathematics module. Semesters 4-8 cover compulsory modules - including Programming Language Principles, Software Engineering, Computer Security and Networks - plus optional modules, including: Artificial Intelligence; Web Services; Telecommunications. The combination of compulsory and optional modules give you the opportunity to explore your particular interests while providing a solid foundation of core computing concepts. You’ll undertake an independent project in your final year, which involves the design and development of a major piece of software from initial requirements to final delivery.
