Module code: COS6006-D
Computer software is part of everyday life across the world, providing digital technology solutions in every economic, scientific, social and health sector amongst others, including business, education, care, manufacturing, finances, travel and wellbeing, while supporting also scientific discoveries and progress. In this module, you will have the opportunity to grow and apply the knowledge and skills assimilated and imparted during all years of your programme of studies, and advance your problem-solving skills through the solution of a problem normally involving research, analysis, design and practical development of a software product or process. You will also develop your ability to plan and implement project activities to achieve an agreed set of objectives in a given timescale. You will enjoy the opportunity to acquire and cover relevant topics that can be demonstrated as a portfolio of knowledge and skills for your professional career and academic profile, as part of the final year of undergraduate studies. You will also have enhanced research, design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance knowledge and practical skills supported by multimedia evidence of work. Professional and communication skills are being developed for both professional and employment settings through project management, regular tutorials, portfolio creation, showcase participation and project demonstration. For our Computer Science programmes the British Computer Society (BCS - The Chartered Institute for IT) - is the key Professional, Statutory, and Regulatory Body (PSRB), along other professional organisations (NCSC) accrediting our specialised topics (Cyber Security). The accredited programs ensure meeting the standards required for graduates to enter the profession and gain recognition as IT professionals. This accreditation, that involves a rigorous review process, including curriculum evaluation, teaching quality, and the relevance of the program to industry needs and professional career building, is relevantly addressed by the enclosed module Learning Outcomes, Teaching and Learning Methods, Assessment Strategy and delivery.
