Networks are what make up much of the modern-day working world as we become more connected both as individuals and as organizations. But with network connectivity (including cloud computing) comes a heightened requirement for security and privacy. In the Computer Science (Network Computing) BSc degree course, you'll gain a good understanding of computer science and a grasp of the important elements of a computer system before specializing in network computing. You'll learns to specify, design, code, modify and test different types of software, from web-based systems to mobile solutions, in a contemporary programming paradigm. All of this will be done using an appropriate commercial-grade development environment and associated database tools. In addition, you'll acquire in-depth knowledge of algorithms, design, programming, and testing techniques. By the end of the course, you'll have confidence in your knowledge of common system and network architectures and system development approaches, requirements capture, design methods, models, tools, and techniques. You'll become well-versed in implementing and testing systems and software maintenance. The key to this course is cultivating a reflective approach to project management issues arising from team-based software development.
