Modules
Year 1 In your first year, you'll take the following compulsory modules: Introduction to Programming User Experience and the Web Logic and Computer Architecture Computing Project 1 Graphics 1 Algorithms 1 Identity, Agency & Environment 1 Identity, Agency & Environment 2 Year 2 In your second year, you'll take the following compulsory modules: Software Development and Design Computing Project 2 Object Oriented Programming Data Programming for Artificial Intelligence Algorithms 2 The Goldsmiths Elective Optional modules You'll then take 2 optional modules from the following list: Networks and Operating Systems 15 credits Information Security 15 credits Goldsmiths’ Social Change Module 15 credits Optional placement year Our degrees include an optional industrial placement year after the second year of study. You'll be responsible for securing a placement, but we can support you through this process. Although we encourage you to take the opportunity of a placement year, you can also complete your degree in three years. Year 3 (or year 4 with placement year) In your final year, you'll complete the following compulsory modules, including a project Computer Science: Final Project in Computer Science Artificial Intelligence Neural Networks Machine Learning Data Mining You'll then use your remaining 15 credits to take an optional module from a list provided annually by the Department of Computing. *Please note that due to staff research commitments not all of these modules may be available every year.
Assessment method
You’ll be assessed by a variety of methods, depending on your module choices. These include coursework, examinations, group work and projects.
