What You Do

The first year of the course introduces you to a variety of IT aspects including analysis, design and development of systems, website publishing and hardware and network elements.

The second year covers the development of IT systems for business, including planning and forecasting, networking, databases and the web, and human-computer interaction.

An optional one-year placement period can be integrated into your course or alternatively you may choose to undertake a shorter work experience module that develops your ability to apply IT solutions.

The emphasis of the final year is on developing your specialism. This is accomplished by a choice of options and work on a major project, culminating in the development of a software artefact, together with a reflective report on your work.

Further award and module information can be found here.
