More details ...
Businesses have become increasingly dependent on IT and networked computers to support their activities. This degree is designed to meet the high demand for graduates with knowledge and experience in IT and the effective management of networked computer systems.
The need to be able to design, maintain, install and troubleshoot intranet and internet based computer systems is constantly growing. This degree emphasises the development of solutions from the perspective of the end-user and looks at the delivery of information within organisations.
Initially, visual programming tools enable students to develop applications tightly integrated into information systems and web applications.
Ultimately, students should be able to develop and generate their own software to meet specific organisational needs. In addition, advances in computing with a relevance to business organisations are investigated, particularly aspects such as multimedia, computer supported co-operative working and the web.
In the final year, students undertake a substantial practical project, deepen their knowledge of networks and the services they enable and choose areas of study from a wide range of options including corporate web systems and client focussed system development.
Students may choose to spend a year in industry after their second year or opt to continue immediately with their final year options.
Full time undergraduate degrees are taught over three years at the university, plus perhaps, a "sandwich" year in industry after the second year.
These are the modules you could expect to study on this course. The modules you can choose in your Second and Final years will depend on those you have studied in preceeding years. Also, some second and final year modules may be changed or restructured in order to keep the course up to date with latest trends in the industry.
