Course programme
Our Level 1 course meets the needs of students joining us from a wide variety of backgrounds and with diverse computing experience. These classes build a firm foundation for the rest of your degree by introducing you to the style and ethos of both the College and the computing profession.
By the end of Level 1, you’ll have covered the fundamental concepts of computer science and the computer-based systems necessary in business.
Typical Level 1 modules- Software Design
- Software Design Implementation Event
- Data and Information
- Level 1 Group Project
- Introductory Programming
- Information Systems and Organisations
- Logic and Computation
You’ll further specialise in Business Computing including systems analysis and design. You’ll also explore human and organisational aspects of computer-based systems, as well as the changes in processes and technology that organisations must make if they’re to get the best from their information.
Typical Level 2 modules- Level 2 Group Project
- Software Development and Management
- Usability Engineering
- Business Analysis and Process Modelling
- ICTs in Society
In this final year, you will specialise in Human-Computer Interaction. At the same time you’ll study options to broaden your understanding of computing. You’ll begin to address research-level issues in areas such as eBusiness, social media and other Web 2.0 technologies, information systems, simulation modelling and artificial intelligence.
Typical Level 3 modules- Business Computing Project
- Advanced Topics in Business Computing
- Human-Computer Interaction.
Optional modules:
- eBusiness
- Social Media
- Software Project Management
- Cybersecurity
This is a substantial individual project for which you research a topic in Human-Computer Interaction in-depth. If you’re on a sandwich course it’s quite likely that this project will be of interest to future employers. This is assessed and is worth a third of your Level 3 marks.
Level 3 Example OptionsIf you choose Business Computing (Human-Computer Interaction), the specialist module will make up one of your options, and you then choose two others from these options:
- eBusiness
- Social Media
- Software Project Management
- Cybersecurity.
We revise the options available each year to reflect the range of specialist interests among our staff, and industry trends.
