课程内容 Course Content :
The taught programme provides an integrated compulsory curriculum together with two complementary routes (A and B) depending on student preferences. All modules are credit bearing.
Bridging Modules
-Introduction to ICT
-Management in Context
Students from management disciplines are required to take Introduction to ICT and students from computing disciplines are required to take Management in Context. Students from more general disciplines are expected to take both the bridging modules

Route B - Advanced Computing (any two)

Dissertation
Industry projects are a vital component of the programme and the dissertation can be either an organisational (working with a business to solve real-world problems) or research-based. Research-based projects offer the chance for in-depth study of a chosen topic, either with the aim of developing current theory or of focusing on a particular technology issue. On organisational projects, students work in small teams (typically three) working for 10 weeks with a company. Student teams act as consultants which enables them to put their learning on the taught programmes into practice on real life projects.
评估 Assessment:
