This programme is specifically designed to provide:

• The ability to develop technical knowledge, skills and background in the design and organization of computer systems with an emphasis on data analytics.
• The ability to critically evaluate design paradigms, languages, algorithms, and techniques used to develop complex software systems.
• The ability to evaluate and respond to opportunities for developing and exploiting new technologies with data analytics concepts and tools.

Course structure

The first year is packed with modules that provide the fundamental skills required by every IT professional. Systems analysis & design and introduction to programming in an appropriate language provide a foundation in the area of software development. A sound grasp of mathematical techniques and skills in algorithmic thinking are important pre-requisites for your second and third year studies in this area. Computer architecture, operating systems, networks, databases, data analytics, behavioural science and marketing analytics are the area of the platform or underlying analytics systems.

Computer Science involves designing and implementing software, devising new ways to use computers and developing effective ways to solve computing problems. It spans a wide range, from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting edge developments in all areas of computing. Successful professionals with a degree in computer science are flexible in performing a range of computing tasks, and extend theories and practice in every area of computing. In your second year, the core modules take development skills to the next level and deepen your understanding of platform technology, while specialised modules allow you to go further into statistical modelling, data mining and predictive modelling.

In your third year you draw on your previous studies and industrial experience to refine your personal and professional development in the field of computer science, supported by specialised training in project management and new product development. Other core modules help you develop new skills in advanced programming techniques and algorithms, and evaluating applications at the frontiers of current technology.
