Course Overview

This course is designed as a single honors program allowing for specialization towards various subject areas across the computing curricula.

The stages of the program draw entirely on existing modules offered within the University. This allows the effective utilization of existing expertise and the options provided to students. This is achieved through a process of advice and negotiation with students.

In addition, you will develop your creative abilities through practice and evaluation while developing your critical understanding in your chosen area of computing.

In your final year, you will develop a critical understanding of the human, social, organizational, economic, legal, and technological factors that affect and are affected by computer-based systems.
