Course Overview
This course forms part of our Software Systems Framework. When applying through UCAS you should use the course code G423.
Students have the opportunity of completing Cisco CCNA certification courses during this degree course at the BU Cisco Certified Local Networking Academy.
This well-established course emphasises the more in-depth technical aspects of networked computing, such as advanced networking techniques including modelling and performance optimisation, as well as the application area of advanced web-based development models.
The extended 60-credit project will give you the chance to develop a high-quality network design and development implementation.
The first year of the course covers entrepreneurship, personal skill development and the fundamentals of computer and communication systems together with basic elements of web information systems. In Year 2, you will explore distributed multimedia systems and the necessary infrastructure to support them. You will also learn project management by working in small teams and will undertake network-related projects.
The placement year will enable you to put all that you have learned to the test in the workplace, before returning to us in Year 4 where you will use the skills and experiences you have acquired in the final year project.
This course forms part of the Bournemouth University Software Systems Framework of courses, allowing you to change your choice of course within the Framework to best suit your needs.
The richness of careers in the IT industry means that students are not always clear about which area they wish to specialise in before they join us. Some do not decide until they reach the final year. With this in mind, we have designed this Framework to have a common first year and a second year which is largely common. This design gives you exposure to a variety of modern technologies and techniques, before you make your final decision. The first two years cover those areas we know to be foundational for all professionals in this field, in addition year two enables a measure of specialism. In the final year, you have the opportunity to specialise further or to keep your education broader and more general.
