Computing Technologies BSc (Hons)
This course is offered at the Jordanstown campus by the Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment. If you want to be able to solve real-world business problems and become a professional with expertise in the development, maintenance, and management of computing systems, then you should consider this course.
You undertake six modules in Year 1 covering subjects such as programming (Python and C#), databases, computer technologies, interactive web authoring and systems software. In Year 2, further core modules extend your skills in technology management and web development and introduce topics relevant to professional development, software development, networks and security.
In Year 3 you undertake a year's work experience, in the UK, Ireland, Europe or USA. An alternative to this is to spend a year studying abroad, either in USA or Europe.
