  • Develop complex software and systems using analytical and mathematical approaches.
  • Understand the fundamental principles behind the software that powers our world.
This course helps you to develop a deep understanding of practical applications of computation, including key concepts in the machine learning domain. You'll become a programmer who understands and can build on the fundamental principles behind the software that underpins modern society across a variety of platforms and domains. How you learn All our courses (including our foundation year courses) are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. This course is focused on helping you to develop strong practical and applied skills to develop software applications. It develops your knowledge and critical thinking as to how and when to use appropriate processes, tools and technologies. The combination of learning methods across the course allow you to develop a range of skills through problem-solving activities, practical implementations and teamwork, allowing you to take an active approach to learning and encouraging self-development You learn through:
  • Lectures
  • Lab sessions
  • Hands-on tutorials
  • Teamwork and group-based learning
  • Practice-based applied learning
  • Workshops
  • Discussions
  • Self-study
Applied learning Work placements You will have the opportunity to arrange a year-long work placement in between your second and third years of the main award. This gives you a real-world experience to prepare you for your future career. You are supported by placement tutors and a college placement team through the process of successfully getting a placement and then while on placement. Although a placement year is not mandatory, the department has a strong track record in finding placements. Live projects All years of your study are designed with applied learning in mind using industry-based and industry-inspired projects. The course includes professional projects which challenge you to solve real world problems, possibly with an external client, while developing team and project management skills. These projects allow you to practice more than just your technical computing skills. By working with real companies, you can apply the project management techniques and technical skills you have learned and test your interpersonal and time management skills. Networking opportunities Employers and industry practitioners are an influential part of the design, content and teaching of the course. The employability focus of the course is supported by frequent involvement of employers and IT professionals.
