Bsc Computing At The University Of Gloucestershire

This course will develop technical skills by using industry standard design methodologies, algorithms, databases, electronic hardware and programming.

With everything from business to healthcare and leisure relying on computing, it’s hard to imagine the world without it. This programme is about building real world intelligent applications, on time and to specification, for use in any area of industry or commerce. The focus of this programme is on applying computing to solve real world problems.

The programme uses project-based learning approach by using practical problems to stimulate interest and provoke serious thinking as the students acquire and apply new knowledge in a problem-solving context.

During your studies, you will develop technical skills by using industry standard design methodologies, algorithms, databases, electronic hardware, development tools and programming languages, and life skills by presenting your designs, demonstrating your programs, and working as part of a team. No prior experience is assumed, although you must have an aptitude for logical problem-solving, and an eagerness to learn new methodologies, tools and languages.

The skills that you gain will equip you to work as a computer programmer anywhere in the public sector (local and national government agencies, departments etc. ), or in the private sector (manufacturing, distribution, billing etc). If you choose an optional one-year paid industrial placement it will provide valuable support for your final year of study, and an excellent foundation for your future career.
