Programming
You’ll create a functional object-oriented programme in a commercially important language. Develop your programming skills and learn the vital concepts to design and build modern software.

Information Management, Assurance and Security
Learn the underlying concepts of databases – how data should be managed and protected to ensure systems work effectively and reliably.

Computer Systems Concepts
Get a deeper understanding of how computer systems are constructed and operated, and why this is essential for everyday use.

Professionalism Employability Enterprise and Problem-solving
Learn the essentials of being a computing professional, developing skills which will help your career, including the ability to present and analyse data and work towards a state project.
*Students can choose to study and be assessed for a portion of this module in Welsh.

Mathematical Tools for Computation
If you're feeling nervous or intimidated by maths and its concepts, this module is designed to support and boost your confidence. It's specifically targeted at Computer Science students.

Data Structures and Algorithms with Object-Oriented Programming
Explore object-oriented concepts and software engineering practices, where you'll expand your knowledge of data structures and algorithms.

Secure Software Development
Build on the development of reliable, safe software. You’ll build both the skills and the conceptual knowledge that ensures that the software you produce has no nasty surprises.

Operating Systems Concepts
Learn about the history and key components of an operating system both conceptually and practically, allowing you to gain practical familiarity with multiple operating systems.

Event Driven and Graphical User Interface Programming
Develop knowledge of, and skills in, the techniques associated with the Event-Driven Programming Paradigm where events control the flow of the program's execution.

Professional Practice and Employability, Team-Based Software Development Workshop
Explore professional practice in computing, and legal, social, ethical, and professional aspects of computing. A core module for your future careers in computer science.

Databases and Data Modelling
Learn all about relational database architecture, practical use of query language, security, and managing large volumes of data such as distributed/cloud and NoSQL database systems.

Supervised Work Experience (Computing)
Put your theory into practice with this paid work experience opportunity, applying the skills and knowledge you have learned so far, to boost your future career prospects.

Study Overseas (Computing)
You’ll have the chance to study overseas under an exchange programme. (This is optional).

Individual Project
Your project will imitate a real-world need and give you the chance to show off your creative research, analytical abilities, and practical skills in management.

Computer Networks
Develop your understanding of the principles, protocols, and technologies that underpin modern computer networks. Learn the skills required to design, implement, and manage computer networks.

Robotics and Autonomous Systems
This optional module introduces concepts, techniques, and terminology needed to design and apply artificially intelligent solutions in the field of robotics and cybernetics.

Mobile Systems and Applications
This optional module develops the skills required to design, implement, test, and critically evaluate applications for mobile platforms.

Parallel and Concurrent Programming
Address both theoretical and practical issues by designing and building parallel and concurrent systems.

Intelligent Systems
Study a range of techniques and technologies used to build artificial intelligence systems. You’ll use practical examples to help you select techniques and apply them to solving problems.
