Course programme

Year 1

CIS1108 Digital World: Information Systems and Design (20 credits)

CIS1109 Digital World: Computer Architecture and Networks (20 credits)

CIS1111 Programming: Concepts to Construction 1 (20 credits)

CIS1112 Programming: Concepts to Construction 2 (20 credits)

SUG1023 Understanding Continuous Functions (20 credits)

You will select one of the following modules:

CIS1107 Foundations of Computer Science (20 credits)

CIS1110 Web Design and Development (20 credits)

Language modules in French, Spanish or Mandarin, delivered at the Edge Hill Language Centre, are available to study as an integral part of this degree. A single Language module can be studied instead of either CIS1107 Foundations of Computer Science or CIS1110 Web Design and Development.

Year 2

CIS2162 Employability (20 credits)

CIS2166 Data Analytics (20 credits)

SUG2021 Discrete Mathematics (20 credits)

SUG2022 Linear Algebra (20 credits)

You will select two of the following modules:

CIS2149 Object-Oriented Programming (20 credits)

CIS2155 Mobile Apps (20 credits)

CIS2158 Software Engineering (20 credits)

If you studied a Language module in Year 1, you may wish to study a further Language module in Year 2. This would form an integral part of your degree in place of one of the optional modules above.

Year 3

CIS3140 Research and Development Project (40 credits)

CIS3161 Research and Development Methods (20 credits)

SUG3025 Mathematical Models (20 credits)

SUG3026 Number Theory (20 credits)

You will select one of the following modules:

CIS3145 Distributed Systems (20 credits)

CIS3156 Intelligent Systems (20 credits)

SUG3027 Ordinary Differential Equations (20 credits)

If you studied Language modules in Years 1 and 2, you may wish to study a further Language module in Year 3. This would form an integral part of your degree in place of one of the optional modules above.

Optional modules provide an element of choice within the programme curriculum. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by timetabling requirements.

Additional information

International students enrolling on the programme in academic year 2017/18 are £11,575 per annum.

How will I be assessed?

You will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, reports, essays and examinations. We want you to develop the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, therefore assessment includes both of these forms, though the emphasis is strongly on individual work.

Who will be teaching me?

You will be taught by staff who are passionate about student learning and development. The programme team includes specialists in computing and active researchers in areas including mobile computing, distributed systems, e-commerce, web information architecture, visualisation and applications of problem-based learning in computing and information systems. Academic staff are regular contributors to academic conferences and journals.
