teaching and assessment
We know that the best way to learn how to design good software is to practise designing good software. You will learn to apply good software engineering principles, whatever the language or technology or platform - Java, C++,
VB.NET, C#, XML, J2EE,
ASP.NET, SQL, OpenGL, PC, UNIX... We will teach you the theory underlying software and system development at the point of need.
You will be assessed by a combination of practical coursework (20% - 50% of a module mark, typically) and end-of-semester examination. Coursework is often very practical, for example writing computer programs, designing interfaces, writing reports, constructing web sites, testing software, implementing databases, analysing problems or presenting solutions to clients.
what’s the best thing about your course? If you are passionate about computing and want to get stuck into technology that can change the way we see our world today, then applied computing is the course for you. In the School of Computing you will not only learn how to work with technology but how to apply the skills and knowledge that you learn within the course to the outside world.
