Computing

Overview

You can choose between the flexible route (offering a wide choice of modules to suit your needs) and the more focused information security and forensics route, networking route or software engineering route (which enable you to develop in-depth specialist knowledge). All four routes finish with a substantial independent project that will either have a professional or research orientation.
