About Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science (Network Computing) (Placement Year) (G423)
Program Description
Networks are what make up much of the modern-day working world as we become more connected both as individuals and as organisations. But with network connectivity (including cloud computing) comes a heightened requirement for security and privacy. On the Computer Science (Network Computing) BSc degree course, students will gain a good understanding of computer science and a grasp of the important elements of a computer system before specialising in network computing.
Students will learn to specify, design, code, modify and test different types of software, from web-based systems to mobile solutions, in a contemporary programming paradigm. All of this will be done using an appropriate commercial grade development environment and associated database tools.
In addition, students will acquire in-depth knowledge of algorithms, design, programming and testing techniques. By the end of the course, students will have confidence in their knowledge of common system and network architectures and system development approaches, requirements capture, design methods, models, tools, and techniques.
Students will become well-versed in implementing and testing systems and software maintenance. Key to this course is cultivating a reflective approach to project management issues arising from team-based software development.
This course is designed for flexibility, students can select modules and specialise gradually during their time at Brunel. Students can transfer between Computer Science and Business Computing up to the start of Level 2, then, should they wish, to choose a specialism up to the start of Level 3.
One third of each year in this programme is project-based. On Levels 1 and 2, students will build a software solution in a team, and in their final year they’ll carry out an individual project. Students will also have the opportunity to showcase their projects at the annual Made in Brunel (Software Innovation) event, with awards presented by the likes of Cisco, Sky and Xerox.
As part of this degree course, students will have the chance to take a year-long work placement between their second year and third year. At Brunel they support students in finding that all-important paid professional experience, in the UK or abroad. Recent graduates have gone on to work for well-known names such as Accenture, Toshiba, Microsoft, British Airways, O2, and Barclays.
This programme is accredited by the British Computer Society, the Chartered Institute for IT, for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered IT Professional (CITP), and on behalf of the Engineering Council, for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partially meeting the academic requirement for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
The accreditation also allows students to apply for professional membership of the BCS after they have successfully completed their degree.
The department has been awarded an Athena SWAN Bronze, recognising their dedication to the advancement of gender equality in STEM subjects. They now have an ongoing three-year action plan to further implement strategies and improve their practices. As part of this endeavour, Brunel’s Women in Engineering and Computing mentoring scheme provides Brunel's female students with invaluable help and support from the industry.
