Computing, BSc Hons

Objectives It helps students understand how computer systems are developed and offers training to design and build them. Students also develop the personal and professional skills needed to communicate and work effectively with those around them, whether they are computer-literate or not.
Entry requirements This programme is for those who wish to study computing to degree level but who do not necessarily wish to specialise in a particular area.
