The choice and designate modules of the Foundation Year will introduce the student to different areas of study and will make the transition to the desired degree easier and more rational.
Main educational aims of the course
This degree is specifically designed for those students who wish to specialise in the design and implementation of modern software systems. The course fosters development using a range of tools and development platforms, and encourages students critically to evaluate the role of computer-based systems in a variety of different contexts. Emphasis throughout is on what the student learns and can do as a result of the learning. It also enables the demonstration of the graduate attributes of self-awareness, performance in a variety of idioms and contexts, and ethical and creative considerations.
For students undertaking the single honours the aims are:
* to provide an education in the development and use of software that will equip students with problem-solving skills, team-based design, development and management of computer-based development.
* to provide graduates with transferable skills to enable progression in either management or technical areas with the ability to master new developments and have flexibility in career structure in an era of rapid organisational change and technological innovation.
* to equip graduates with necessary ability and study skills to enable them to use self evaluation and apply the thinking approach in order to progress to advance postgraduate courses of study, and
* to provide industry, commerce and research laboratories with effective and adaptive computer scientists that society demands.
