This programme gives an in-depth grasp of the whole field of computer-based information systems. If you are considering an advanced career in research or industry, we recommend that you choose this four-year programme. In the first two years you will study core modules such as programming, computer systems, software engineering and logic. In the third year a group project is undertaken, with an individual project done in the fourth year. This involves the implementation of a sophisticated piece of software reflecting your particular interests. Optional modules in the third and fourth year are chosen with the advice of your personal tutor.
