BSc (Hons) Cloud Computing addresses the key areas of systems administration, network security and cloud computing. Both areas are in high demand in the tech industry.

The course aims to:

• Develop your competence in the application of cloud computing at a high level;
• Provide you with a sound knowledge of the principles underlying standard applications of cloud computing;
• Provide practical skills of applied cloud computing to inform commercial decisions.

This course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS).

On the BSc Cloud Computing course, you will learn through knowledge: you will understand essential facts, concepts, theories and principles of emerging technologies in cloud and distributed computing.

You will learn through thinking, demonstrating independent thinking and analytical skills in real-world problems related to cloud computing. You will reason critically in the assimilation and production of cloud computing artefacts.

Subject-based practical skills: you will analyse, interpret, synthesise and evaluate design methods and alternative solutions for a given problem in the diverse fields of finance, medical, and technology domain. You will gain hands-on experience in algorithm design using state-of-the art programming languages, and you will work professionally as an individual and as a team player to develop creative solutions to problems.
