Building skills and confidence that will kickstart your career is the aim of the first (foundation) year of this course. Important concepts and tools are introduced, and skills developed. You will also develop study and communications skills which are valuable not just on the BSc Computer Science programme but for your future, allowing you to pursue your dreams and continue to grow.
Integrated Computing Devices
This module introduces many of the important concepts which form the backbone of much of your later studies on the course and relate them providing practical examples. Concepts of the nature of computing devices, operating systems, and the Internet of Things [IoT] are explored along with other things. This module is serious fun.
Web Development Fundamentals
User centric website design and development is explored in this module, providing insight into a range of other important concepts.
Information Systems
Information systems are ubiquitous in the commercial. This module introduces the concepts that define and govern these systems and provides practical skills in their implementation.
Software Development Fundamentals
This module takes students, who may not have programmed before, through the process of developing a procedural programme and software development in general. It is practically based and employs a commercially important language.
Cyber Security and Forensics
The security of computer and communication systems is paramount and must be considered when any system is created. This module discusses the threats that are faced and ways in which they can be addressed, along with considering the laws that govern this area.
Foundations of Mathematics for Computing
This module fosters an understanding of the mathematical techniques and concepts which are important to computing, achieved through application and example. The module also instils confidence in those that may need to in numeracy algebra and mathematical methods.
