Programme structure

The course is split into two teaching blocks and a summer project that involves researching, planning and implementing a major piece of work with a significant scientific, technical or software development component. The main programming languages taught on the course are C and Java. There is a strong emphasis on individual and group projects for putting into practice what you learn about software engineering, web technologies, databases, computer architecture and research skills.

By the end of the first teaching block you will have a solid foundation in imperative programming and computer hardware. You will also have begun the literature review component of your project. By the end of the second teaching block you will be able to apply industrial-style tools and techniques for agile software development and web applications in a teamworking context. You will also have refined your project idea and completed a detailed specification and work plan.

Over summer you will implement and evaluate your project and you will submit a dissertation describing your work in September.
