This course has been specifically designed for students who wish to 'top-up' their computing-related HND or Foundation Degree (or equivalent) to a full degree at a respected university within one year.  You will study a wide range of topics, from systems development and strategic systems management, to social and current issues in computing, and professional management and practice. You will also complete a case project, which will provide you with the opportunity to apply all of your existing skills to a substantial software development problem. Each module of study is assessed by coursework assignments or end-of-module examinations or both. All modules have some elements of practical work, the majority of which require the use of computer systems. The individual project may be initiated by the University, the student, or an external client and consists of an end product and a report explaining and evaluating the project process.You will study a wide range of topics, from systems development and strategic systems management, to social and current issues in computing, and professional management and practice.
