Course Overview

You'll learn how to analyze the requirements for new or replacement systems, and then gain hands-on experience in designing and implementing them. Both the theoretical and practical skills that you need to design and build software systems to solve real commercial problems will be explored.

Alongside practical elements you'll learn about legal requirements and ethical questions associated with the profession, meaning you’ll enter your career with a wide-ranging understanding of the subject.

Successfully completing this degree would naturally lead to working in the business environment either for a consulting company working with many businesses or within one organization. You would use the skills you have learned in your degree and also develop new skills as technology changes to support those businesses. You may specialize in one of the areas you have learned and feel passionate about, or keep a broad-based approach to using these skills.

There are also opportunities that you could take in further formal education at the Master’s level, for example in human-computer interaction, digital media, or software development, or you could go on to do research at MPhil or Ph.D. level.
