Learning

Education

1999 - 2002

Bournemouth University

Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Hons, Advance Computing & Electronics

BSc (Hons) Computing is designed for students who do not want to specialise in one particular area of
Computing, but instead would prefer to cover a broader range of computing-related topics, in eclectic
combination. Hence, this course appeals to those who find the general field of computing (i.e. not its
specialist forms) to be of continuing interest, and who wish to equip themselves with a broader and
more general graduate profile.
The demand for employees in the computing field has been on the rise for quite some time now, and
shows no sign of stopping. According to the 2020 UK Government report about key findings about the
labour market, firms reported shortages of candidates in the labour market with technical and
programming skills. The BSc (Hons) Computing programme has been running successfully for many
years, with continuous improvements and updates to reflect the technological changes and industry
needs.

Modules covered;
Computer Fundamentals, Mathematics for Computing, Programming, Data Management, Introduction to Reliable Computing Systems, Computing and Society, Software Engineering, Technological Innovations in Computing
