Course programme

The first year teaches compulsory computing science subjects alongside optional topics in either computing or film and TV. The second year allows you to begin specialising in areas such as computer graphics, sound and image processing, or related subject areas such as film and TV or music processing. By the third year, you'll be ready to take your placement in industry, before returning to UEA in your final year, where you will continue to take specialist modules alongside a substantial individual research project that allows you to engage more deeply with a particular aspect of the field that interests you.

Year 1
During this year of the programme you will undertake a range of compulsory modules, specifically designed to provide you with a solid foundation in computing, problem solving and programming, as well as relevant mathematics and computing theory.

Year 2
In this year, you will study sound and image processing, computer graphics, software engineering, data structures and algorithms. You will work on interactive computer graphics applications and be introduced to the key ideas behind processing of signals, essential for imaging and multimedia techniques. In addition to this, you have a choice of optional subjects to study from.

Year 3

In Year 3, you'll be required to find and secure a year-long placement (with support from UEA) at a relevant organisation of your choice. You could get some valuable experience at a company you know you'd like to work for, or use the year to explore aspects of computing you're not already familiar with. However you approach it, the Year in Industry is extremely attractive to employers after graduating and incredibly valuable as part of your own personal development.

Year 4
During this final year you will have the flexibility to pursue your chosen specialisations from the range of optional modules available. You will undertake a year-long imaging and multimedia or computer graphics project providing you with experience of independent project work, both from a technical and an organisational standpoint.

Examples of projects may include developing a 3D game using advanced user interfaces such as haptic feedback devices and stereoscopic displays or creating life-like virtual models. Additionally, you have further options to take modules in Computer Vision, Advanced Computer Graphics and Film. For example, if you wish to carry on with computer graphics, your next challenge will be to develop 3D computer graphics simulations or games. Alternatively, you can carry on where you left off in the second year and do a more advanced studio or film project and develop a video, documentary or TV production.
