Professional links

We have worked with a number of commercial organisations on a consultative basis, and this has enhanced the development of this undergraduate programme. Examples include:

Amazon Web Services (IS software development and IT infrastructure). We have consulted with AWS on Data Engineering and Cloud/Security Technologies and on various aspects of IS software development and IT infrastructure. We have a number of new modules that can benefit directly from the support of a state-of-the-art virtualised environment. Our team have spent a considerable amount of time discussing our new course plans with experts from the AWS team to ensure our proposed curriculum aligns with expected industry standards and best practice.

Taylor and Francis Group (IT Publishing Industry). We have collaborated in projects in the area of web development and security, including various aspects of software development and IT infrastructure. They have supplied guest speakers providing contemporary/specialist advice in the area of software project management for IT based projects. For this course we’ve shared our course plans with them and discussed ways to potentially enhance the content and delivery.
