The uptake of digital technology in society has greatly increased our need for interactive computing devices – now an intrinsic part of everyday life for anything and everything from entertainment and education to healthcare, work and transport.
This course focuses on applying computing concepts, such as web technologies and mobile computing systems, with a focus on software development design, as well as usability and Human Computer Interaction (HCI).
The first year of study covers the fundamentals of computing and computer principles including mathematics, programming, computer architecture, usability and information systems.
These fundamentals can then be applied to larger scoped problems within the computing discipline in Year Two. You may find yourself tasked with analysing big datasets, designing complete and functioning systems and developing creatively designed mobile apps.
As well as the technical focus, the course contains content which allows you to explore the social, ethical and professional aspects of computing and its relationship to work and society.
In your final year, you can select two optional modules from a range of technical computing disciplines, giving you the opportunity to specialise in topics, such as open-source software development. This will enable you to shape your learning to your career aspirations and allow you to study topics you are interested in.
