The importance of computing 
Try to imagine a world 
without computers…. 
What would this mean?
The Breadth of Computing 
• Probably part of everything we do 
e.g. cars, films, banking, games, etc 
• Ranges from: 
– the very technical e.g. the hardware 
in our computers 
– to the design and development of 
software e.g. mobile applications, 
games, etc
Our Courses 
• Focus on software development 
• Two modes of study are available: 
– 3 year 
– 4 year thick sandwich (placement) 
• Two main subject pathways 
– Computer Science 
– Business Computing
Computer Science 
• Oriented towards the technical formal 
principles of computing and software 
engineering 
• Candidates should have plenty of practice 
and experience in handling mathematical 
concepts
Business Computing 
• Focus on the analysis, design and 
implementation of computer 
systems, with business and 
commercial emphasis. 
• Suitable for good entry-level 
grades, not necessarily in 
Mathematics.
