The course has at its core an understanding of the architecture, processes and applications of contemporary computer technology. You will develop an understanding of the fundamental principles of computing and apply this to gaining skills in the use of modern technologies. Issues such as customer support and system administration are investigated, developing knowledge of the methods and approaches to professional computing practice. You will acquire an understanding of the management of computing resources and the Stage Two will include a group project which allows students to develop their own interests, while also acquiring and developing skills of research, investigation and project management. This course has been devised to develop a wide range of employable skills and knowledge in the field of computing and is the result of consultations with employers, experts and specialist staff. This qualification covers a number of different aspects of the use of computing technologies, opening the door to a range of employment prospects. The course itself has been designed to address the shortage of skilled individuals within the IT community and the jobs enjoyed by our successful students include work in network management, IT support, computer security, web development and teaching (Further Education and schools). You will spend a period of time working with an employer in business, commercial sectors and/or the voluntary sector (Work-placement) that will be assessed as part of your programme of study. You will also be encouraged to work with an external organisation for your 2nd-year group project which will benefit you by gaining experience working with a business. FdSc graduates often choose to continue their studies by taking an additional one year course which provides a ‘top-up’ to a full Bachelor's degree, including the BSc (Hons) Applied Computing Technologies offered at Truro and Penwith College.
