You will learn key technical skills like web development, networking protocols, and computer security, as well as the ‘human’ facets around information systems.**Study applied computing**The degree is hands on and practical from the start. You will learn technical skills in software development and deployment, whilst also developing an understanding of software from a range of perspectives including social, economic, user experience, and security. You will put this knowledge into practice through individual and group project work throughout your degree. You will also have the option to take an industrial placement year after the second year – an invaluable experience which enhances your career prospects.**Develop industry relevant skills**We will teach you the skills you need to develop software, but you don’t need to know how to code before you start.

You’ll program in multiple languages, use industry-standard tools, and develop professional working practices such as design documentation, testing cycles, issue tracking, and version control.**After your degree**This degree equips you with the skills and knowledge to be immediately employable in a host of specialised IT and technology fields. Our graduates have gone on to work in areas such as software engineering, data analysis, finance, telecommunications, and user interface design. This programme is also a pathway into Masters-level study in a variety of computing disciplines.
