This programme has been designed through our links with leading engineering and technology-companies and provides the specialist knowledge and expertise required for a professional career in computer and network technology. Project-based learning in all years, including live industry-led projects, will help you develop the transferable skills and multi-disciplinary awareness so highly prized by industry. Year 1 will establish the fundamentals of computer and network technology, programming and basic electronics, and you will work on your practical and project skills in developing and managing standalone and networked computer systems. Year 2 will develop your practical and analytical skills through study of applications and systems programming, central processing units, memory and interfacing sub-systems and communications standards and protocols. You will take on a specialist role in a group project and start detailed planning of your career. Further specialist study and projects in the final year, all informed by the School of Engineering's active research and industrial partnerships, will give you experience of the latest computer and network technology challenges faced by industry and society.<br>3 years full-time 4 years sandwich
