Credits: 30
Semester: SEM1
This module is for you if you are taking the Computer Science conversion MSc programme as it aims to prepare you for more specialist modules in the second semester.
The module covers two main themes: Systems Analysis and Software engineering and Computer Systems and Networks. You will learn about system complexity and the special challenges of building software systems. You will learn how to analyse system and software requirements, produce object-oriented designs, and learn the principles of how to plan, manage and test systems. You will also learn essential aspects of computer architecture, the hardware/software interface, and computer networks.
You will be introduced to programming in parallel, so that little programming knowledge will be assumed in the first half of the module, more in the second half.
Level: 7
