Semester: SEM2
The role of software is increasingly critical in our everyday lives and the accompanying risks of business or safety critical systems failure can be profound.
This course will provide you with a framework for articulating and managing the risks inherent in the systems you will develop as practitioners. You will learn how to build decision support tools for uncertain problems in a variety of contexts (legal, medical, safety), but with a special emphasis on software development. This course will make a distinctive offering that will enable you to bring a principled approach to bear to analyse and solve uncertain and risky problems.
