Teaching and assessments
On this course, you will benefit from Education 2030 - DMU’s new way of delivering courses. Through block teaching, you will focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once.
The teaching methods delivered on this course include staff directed learning via lectures, tutorials and laboratories, in addition to student-centred resource-based learning (including web-based resources), collaborative and group working, individual learning and student-centred learning via individual research / literature review.
Students will be assessed via a range of methods including time constrained phase tests, portfolios of work, programming and other laboratory exercises, examinations, project work, individual work and group work.
As a Computer Science graduate , you have a wide range of career options available to you. Whether you choose to work in the industry or pursue further education, your knowledge in computer science will open doors as software engineers, computer engineers, systems engineers, database managers, software developers, and web developers for various multinational companies. You can also continue your academic careers by embarking on postgraduate study in either research or taught areas, which provides opportunities for further specialisation and the enhancement of existing skills
