BSc (Hons) Computing (Progression Year)

Course Summary
These degrees aim to provide the applied knowledge and understanding required for successful professional practice in the computing and information technology (IT) sector. The course content is based on a combination of technological understanding with entrepreneurial and business organisation skills. The course is designed to reflect the nature and breadth of contemporary IT practice, including networking and system administration and development, as well as business management techniques.

Course Structure
The course combines theoretical issues with practical elements. Students are given the opportunity to design and construct programs as well as install, configure and implement networks and internet-based services. Students also consider system configuration, building and testing networks and internetworks, developing business systems, accounts, database and management information systems.

Computing modules include:
Networks and Internetworking, Programming, Computer and Operating Systems, Web Technologies, PC Architecture, Customised Business Solutions, and Database Development.

Management modules include:
Principles and Functions of Management, Management Information Systems, Project Management, Accounting for Managers, Human Resources, Budgeting and Accounts, Global Business, Computing Management, and Marketing Principles.

Work Placements
A unique and vital part of the course is the accretion of 200 hours per year of work-based or volunteer work with a relevant employer or volunteer organisation. This offers students an opportunity to put into practice class-based theory and to extend their knowledge and understanding of the subject.

Assessment
Assessment is through a variety of methods including assignments, group projects, presentations, examinations and a dissertation in the final year for the BA (Hons).

After the Course
Graduates with a combination of technological, management and organisational skills will have high employability in the computing services sector, or management positions in virtually any sector that utilises computing and networking.
