Computing and communications technologies lie at the heart of modern society. They include hardware, software, networks, tools, telecommunications equipment and required standards that provide the technological framework on which the delivery of information services is based. The IT industry is reporting a widening gap in software skills while hard technology is developing and diversifying fast.The overall aim of this intensive programme is to enable all students to develop their potential so that they can apply what they have learnt to deal with computational problems and develop solutions in a real-world environment. Through studying this programme, students learn how to specify, design, develop and operate efficient and innovative computer-based systems and gain up-to-date knowledge of the relevant computing technologies at an advanced level within a shorter space of time. Graduates of the degree programme will be able to undertake a variety of careers in the IT industry, including programming, systems analysis and design, network and systems management, and technical support. Alternatively they can advance their careers in research in computing/computer science in academic institutions at Buckingham, other UK universities or universities abroad.

  • Full course information in the University HandbookIndividual projectA particularly important feature of the BSc in Computing (and all BSc Computing major with minor programmes) is the individual project, which extends over the first three terms of the second year, and involves the specification, development and testing of a substantial piece of software. The project is a crucial element of the degree, counting for 45 units. In support of this, you will for example learn to program in C# and C++, as well as taking modules in databases, human-computer interaction, and Internet & World Wide Web technologies.The purpose of the project is to provide you with the opportunity to obtain in-depth knowledge in a chosen area of computing or information systems, to exercise judgment in solving a major problem and to develop a working software system. You will be expected to:
  • Choose an appropriate project topic and identify a problem to work on.
  • Identify the work required to solve the problem.
  • Plan and organise the project work.
  • Carry out the work and deliver a sound solution to the problem.
  • Submit all required reports, program codes and prototype systems.
  • Exercise judgment in chosen solutions throughout the project.
  • Through the project, you will gain experience in:
  • Acquiring, organising and presenting knowledge in a field of study and applying the knowledge to solve an identified problem.
  • Comparing and selecting suitable approaches and methods in solving the problem.
  • Exercising initiative and sustained effort to set and achieve a clear set of objectives within stated deadlines.
  • Developing solutions and implementing the solutions.
  • Mastering a particular programming language, which can be different from the ones that you have learnt.
  • Through the project, you will also enhance your transferrable skills in autonomy, communications and time management demanded by the industry.
