Course Content
In your first year you will gain a foundational knowledge in all areas of the subject, including programming, computer architecture, software system design and usability testing. Youll also work on professional skills and relevant mathematics. When you first arrive, you will be involved in a group project as a part of our activity led learning program. This gives a sociable and fun introduction to most aspects of the subject and helps all our students get to know the staff and each other.
By the end of the second year, you should have learned to write and test programs, work in a development team on a real world project, understand and build computer and network systems and have a working knowledge of vital aspects of computer industry ethics and law. In the final year, these skills are combined with an individual project. This normally involves building an original computer system, which will solve one of a range of challenging problems suggested by an expert in the relevant field. We introduce you to the study of the limits of computation, techniques for analysing and solving more complex problems and large scale software systems development. Additionally you have the option to study advanced topics in artificial intelligence, computer architecture, concurrent and real time systems and the development of enterprise systems and web services.
This material is learned through a range of creatively designed tasks, projects, lectures and tutorials. We build our own, ground-breaking educational software at Coventry University and use it to teach programming, theoretical computer science and parallel processing.
