Computing (Information Systems Development)

Description

Study on a programme that provides practical coverage of the modern software skills required for the development of computer systems across a full range of commercial and industrial software-based applications.
The need for computing professionals continues to grow, with demand for problem solving knowledge and expertise affording graduates excellent career opportunities.

The BSc/BSc (Hons) Computing (Information Systems Development) programme is concerned with the software engineering and development of the âcoreâ business-based information systems upon which the vast majority of business and organisational functions depend. These would tend to be large scale data base centred systems, many of which would be web-enabled. This programme, therefore, has a significant emphasis on key information systems skills, such as systems analysis, design and data modelling.
