Computing

About

Course overview

Computing is a creative and wide-ranging subject that focuses on using sound underlying principles and logical thinking to design and build systems that really work.

This general programme offers you a wide range of module choices as you progress, allowing you to study your areas of interest.

In this course, you will learn how modern computer and communications systems function, and how they can be used and adapted to build the next generation of computing applications.

The central core of this programme has been designed to give you an overview of computing. This includes an understanding of basic concepts and principles, the ability to appreciate and to adapt to changes in technology, and practical experience in applied computing.

A special emphasis of your studies will be on the fundamental principles underlying computing and on the engineering considerations involved in computing system design, implementation and usage. You will be introduced to computing architecture and hardware, and the software used to exploit them.

This course will also equip you with a strong background in discrete mathematics (logic, sets, relations and grammar) – the basic mathematics of computing; along with classical mathematics and statistics relevant to applications engineering and management.

Throughout this course, you will attend laboratory and problem-solving classes, as well as completing project and design work.

You'll also study advanced techniques and choose from a wide range of optional modules, in addition to completing a substantial individual project on a subject of your choice.
