UCAS Code : G458 BSc/MPC

Course Structure and Content

This degree will be available from October 2008.

The BSc (Hons) Mobile Computing degree aims to produce technical developers of mobile systems.

There are a number of parallel themes to this degree, as outlined below.

A strong mobile theme runs through the degree, looking at mobile applications (including entertainment), mobile hardware and netware.

The programming theme looks at development using Java and Microsoft languages and environments.

Web development is a third theme, examining markup languages, packages (e.g. Dreamweaver) and scripting.

A traditional computing theme considers issues such as user interfaces, databases and emerging technologies.

This course is distinctive in offering mixed platform mobile development through freely available technologies like Java and proprietary technologies such as Microsoft.

There is strong interest in mobile and pervasive computing from industry, the Government and our international partners, making employment prospects bright.

The degree utilises the internationally recognised creative talent at this University to underpin modules in mobile applications and entertainment.

Students may choose to spend a year in industry after their second year or opt to continue immediately with their final year options.

Course Structure and Content

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.
