SOUD1565
Architecture and Systems
This module introduces the fundamentals of computer systems infrastructure, including core architecture, logic, and the causes and consequences of IT infrastructure failures. Students explore IT systems architecture including hardware, operating systems, and emerging uses of computer systems. It also covers the use of CLI and GUI across operating systems and techniques for monitoring and optimising system performance.
SOUD1566
Cyber Security Principles
This module introduces the main security issues that relate specifically to both computer and networked systems. The module introduces key underlying concepts of security and common threats to systems and how they arise and progresses to identify specific security issues and how professionals can address such issues in the design of computer and networked systems.
SOUD1567
Front-end Web Development
This module provides an insight into the fundamentals behind developing dynamic, responsive, and user-friendly websites. This module explores the latest web technologies, design principles, optimisation techniques and guidelines to design, build, test, and evaluate websites that meet current industry standards and user expectations.
SOUD1568
Introduction to Networking
Modern computer systems rarely operate in a standalone manner and rely upon networks to provide additional functionality. This module introduces students to network standards, protocols, devices, media and security that allow networked systems to communicate. The module has a mix of both theory and practical, with the theoretical principles matched by scenarios to design, implement/configure, and troubleshoot networks.
SOUD1569
Programming Fundamentals
This module is intended to introduce students to programming concepts across different programming paradigms, whilst looking to embed good industry software engineering practice in the design, implementation and testing of moderately complex software applications.
SOUD2525
Advanced Programming
This module aims to enhance students' programming competence by using a range of advanced programming techniques. It focuses on selecting and applying appropriate data structures and algorithms to solve complex problems, improving software development skills, and providing a practical introduction to advanced programming paradigms
SOUD2526
Applied Cyber Security
This module is designed to apply basic cyber security principles to configure, deploy and use computer and network systems in a secure way. The module engages students in both analysing and detecting vulnerabilities within systems, and to implement appropriate security controls within computers and networks to harden technological deployments.
SOUD2527
Computing Project
This module enables students to obtain a real business problem to solve. Students will draw upon learnt subject experiences and skills gained from the programme to date, to enable them to effectively plan, design, implement, test, evaluate, document and present a project of complexity.
SOUD2528
Full-Stack Development
This module aims to develop students' competence in full-stack development by using modern technologies and frameworks. It focuses on front-end and back-end development, database management, and API integration. Students will learn to critically evaluate application performance and security and effectively communicate design ideas and solutions.
SOUD2529
Wider Networking Technologies
Networks are an essential part of our lives. The Internet, for example, is viewed as one of life's necessities like water, food and accommodation. This module introduces the learner to the wider uses of computer networks and the support mechanisms needed to maintain them. It also allows for the exploration of various tools and techniques used to configure, administrate and maintain network technologies.
