(Hons) Computing (part-time)

• Specially designed for people wishing to study while remaining in full-time employment
• Full provisional exemptions by the British Computer Society up to and including the 2002 intake
• Provides a solid base in the technologies and techniques expected in a modern computing degree

Why study Computing (part-time)?
The course aims to allow people currently working within a computing or computer related environment to develop and extend their knowledge and skills in the computing field. It encourages students to place their professional activity within an academic framework. It is also hoped that, as well as enhancing the students' career prospects, it will also lead to a greater understanding of the context and direction of their professional environment.

What does the course involve?
The minimum period of study is five years, although there is flexibility in how students organise their study, and the length of time they wish to take. Students will normally attend lectures one day a week. During the first two years, students are required to study 8 core modules, worth 20 credits each. In the third year, two themes are introduced which may allow students to specialise in either Computer Science or Software Engineering if they so wish. Other themes may also become available in the future. Further optional and compulsory modules are taken in the forth year. Students will take an Individual Project in the final year, which may be related to their work environment. Here is a detailed programme structure for 2002/2003.
