Computing: hardware, software, applications, tools, technologies... What would we do without it? Not a lot! What can we do with it? Almost anything! What areas of human activity does it apply to? Almost all!
How does it all work? How can I become an expert user of it? How is it applied within my field of interest? How are computer-related tools and technologies developed? How can I gain real understanding of-as well as expertise and experience in-using and building the computing-based applications, tools, and technologies central to modern human endeavour?
Our Undergraduate Degree Programme provides the education that you need to move from questions to answers, from problems to solutions, and from theory to practice in both the professional use and development of generic and specialised computing systems. The Programme offers a comprehensive and carefully designed set of degree pathways covering the following subject areas: Computer Animation, Computer Games, Computer Graphics, Computer Science, Information Technology, Multimedia and the Web, Digital Music as well as the generic BSc Computer Studies and BA Creative Media Studies degrees.
Our 36 degree pathways are composed of coherent sets of modules chosen from a catalogue of over 100 which vary from the highly technical to the esoteric and cater to the needs of computer software and technology developers, information technology practitioners, web system designers and authors, and the creators and manipulators of sound, music, visual and virtual artistry. Some modules are designated pathway core to guarantee the focus of each of our named degrees but a wide range of optional modules are also available giving students flexibility of choice. The two generic degrees allow students with wide-ranging interests to construct their own course of studies.
All students take a professional studies module which provides a range of key technical and interpersonal skills required in the modern working environment and by professional bodies. All pathways are offered in full-time or sandwich mode, giving the possibility of a one year supervised work experience in year three. In the final year of study students undertake a substantial project that further develops their professional and technical skills.
