About this course

This three-year BSc (Hons) Computer Science is delivered at CINEC Campus with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU). It is meant for students who want to keep their options open within IT, combining the core of computer science with options in software development, cloud applications, network administration and technical support. Year one covers programming, computer systems, software principles, operating systems and core mathematics. Year two adds databases, software engineering, algorithms, network routing, digital security and research methods, and year three offers cloud computing, image processing and a final project, with options such as artificial intelligence and computer graphics. Students can work towards the Cisco CCNA qualification and apply for membership of professional bodies such as BCS. Transfer to the UK at the end of year one or two is possible, and CINEC lists master's study in software engineering, AI, computer science or IT as onward paths.
