You will also be given a taste of a wide range of topics such as web development, virtual reality, robotics, physical computing, operating systems and graphics. You will be given well-structured learning activities that lead to more independent project work, which is the best way to develop the fundamental skills that will lay the foundation for successful study at Level 2.</p> <p>Level 2</p> <p>You will study specific areas of Information Technology such as website development, database design, computer networks, object-oriented software development and multimedia development.</p> <p>Level 3</p> <p>You will carry out a major piece of independent work in the form of a project that will allow you to demonstrate your skills and knowledge. You will study topics such as computer security, advanced web technologies, gaming technologies, mobile technologies, graphics and modelling.</p> <p>Throughout the programme you will gain skills in a wide range of current and cutting-edge technologies that are highly relevant to the industry such as C, C++, Java, C#, .NET, ASP, PHP, Silverlight, Deep Zoom, Windows Phone and Android development, Linux and SQL.</p> <p>You will be assessed through both examination and coursework. Coursework is mainly project based, as this is the best way to develop the skills required in Information Technology. At Level 1, 35 per cent of the assessment is through examination, decreasing to 12 per cent at Level 3. At Level 2, 30 per cent of the assessment is by examination, with 70 per cent by coursework. At Level 3, assessment is heavily coursework based with 50% of the assessment consisting of a major individual project, which gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your skills in an area that interests you.</p> <h2>You may also be interested in...</h2> <p><a href="http://www.hope.ac.uk/undergraduate/undergraduatecourses/computerscience/">Computer Science</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.hope.ac.uk/undergraduate/undergraduatecourses/electronicengineering/">Electronic Engineering</a></p> </div>
