Overview
The Computer Science (Online) programme offered by University of Hertfordshire focuses on problem solutions drawn from the subject discipline of your first degree, and to problems that are relevant to your chosen career.
Project-based, combining software development with programming, database management system, information system design, and data structure and algorithms.
The course is especially designed for graduates of numerate subjects other than computer science. It is mostly taught separately from the other courses. It intensively covers a broad range of the key principles and techniques of computer science. There is an emphasis on software development, in particular when applied to solving problems in other disciplines.
