We have a syllabus that keeps up with current technology trends, so you can stay abreast of emerging technologies like graph databases, mobile app development and artificial intelligence (AI) concepts. We will explore the basis of computer science, using industry-standard equipment including robots, virtual and physical servers, chromebooks and mobile devices, as well as Microsoft software and industrial strength collaboration coding platforms such as GitHub. Our commercial links should provide you with opportunities to experience the process of working in a team to create a system for a client with all the constraints and requirements this entails. For example, recent projects have involved robot simulators, data mining with IBM, database development, virtual reality and assistive technology. You should have the opportunity to develop specialised skills and knowledge in the areas of intelligent agents, mobile applications, open source development, concurrent and real-time applications on the undergraduate programme, as well as neural networks, machine learning, cloud computing, distributed technologies and intelligent information retrieval on the Master’s programme. You can also attempt to gain additional industry-recognised certifications through the Microsoft and CISCO Academy Programmes as part of the universities Add+vantage scheme at no additional cost. Our current staff have experience of working in the fields of machine learning, networking or data science for well-known organisations such as Maplesoft, Praeposit Limited for e-learning and Jaguar Land Rover, and others who are conducting internationally-rated research in fields such as web and mobile development, artificial intelligence, distributed systems and computing for the creative industries. **Key Course Benefits** * Opportunity to gain Microsoft Academy certifications at no additional cost and upon the provision that you pass the additional programmes. * An opportunity to demonstrate your portfolio of work to potential employers at the free-to-attend annual Coventry New Wizards Showcase. * Option to join the CISCO Academy Programme leading to an industry-recognised CISCO Certified Networked Associate (CCNA) qualification at no extra cost. * The course has an excellent track record in employability in computer science – with 90% of graduates in employment after six months (DLHE 206/17). * A free-to-join Computer Club for all students, which organises a range of extracurricular activities such as LAN gaming, robot programming challenges and hackathons, to experience the most up-to-date technologies. * Regular free-to-attend guest lecturers from current practitioners, which, in recent years, have included senior professors from Sheffield, Lincoln and Birmingham universities and the European Bioinformatics Centre Cambridge. * Support for seeking short and long-term placements with technology companies to gain the experience employers desire. Past students have worked for Microsoft UK Ltd, Intel and Accenture, as well as a range of medium sized companies in web, media and the creative industries.

Your main study themes are: **Programming**: The underlying concepts and algorithms, which should enable you to apply the programming techniques that are appropriate for the problem encountered. You should have opportunity to develop core skills in programming by learning and applying syntax, problem-solving strategies, and theory common to most programming languages. We also examine professional practices associated with the industry, including key software development concepts such as testing code, version control, functional decomposition and event driven programming, as well as how to interact with non-technical users and clients. **Computer Architecture, Networking and Operating Systems**: We investigate and analyse the origin, structure and use of the fundamental components of computers, how they represent data, operating systems (OS) used and networking approaches. We will explore basic OS concepts, such as processes, memory management, drivers and file systems. We also explore the main features of Linux, Windows, UNIX and Mac OSI, among others. **Database Systems, Data and Information Retrieval**: Exploring how to identify the database approach that best reflects the application and the use of a variety of data analytic approaches. **Software System Modelling and Project Management**: A practical guide to the software development processes will be offered with associated tools and techniques for modelling and project management. We consider modern iterative process models using Agile and object-oriented (OO) modelling methods and tools, including techniques for requirements engineering and analysis, architectural design and detailed software design with patterns, completed with implementation, testing and integration. **Latest Computing-related Technologies and Development**: We explore the latest technologies and development in the areas of web technologies, mobile apps, AI, concurrent and real time systems, and contribute to the open source community through the development of software and the production of large scale complex software.
