You will also learn how to keep up-to-date with new recommendations and practice in this volatile and constantly evolving area. You will also gain an appreciation of other important areas such as legal factors, management of systems, risk analysis, and social and human factors.

Advanced Programming and Software DesignThis module provides a deeper understanding of object-oriented programming and concurrent programming. You will learn to apply common design patterns to effectively structure software projects, apply the programming language structures to guarantee appropriate synchronisation of concurrent code and enforce mutually exclusive access to shared data, and analyse the fundamental issues that need to be addressed due to the application of concurrent patterns. You will gain familiarity with industry-relevant skills like using version control systems, unit testing and continuous integration tools.

Programming for Virtual Worlds You will learn the skills and techniques to create virtual worlds in 3D, using modern games engines such as Unity. As part of the assessment you will design and implement a game level, and program it with interactivity or artificial intelligence. You will gain an opportunity to showcase your creativity and innovation, and gain digital readiness and research skills.

Professional Experience in EducationThis module allows undergraduates to gain academic credit for their work in schools and colleges. The undergraduate will develop a range of skills and be presented with an opportunity to experience an early taste of teaching for those interested in pursuing teaching or training as a career. The undergraduate will work in a school or college for a total of 64 hours, to be agreed between the placement host and student. The timing of the placement is flexible to support students’ home, study and work life balance, and to meet the needs/requirements of the placement host, but ideally within a concentrated block rather than dispersed over the whole year. Suggested options include 8 × 8-hour (whole day) sessions, or 16 × 4-hour (half day) sessions. Students will have the flexibility to source their own placement, a useful skill for seeking out future employment opportunities, but also can apply for a range of roles sourced by the university.

Flexible Work Placement (Level 6)In a competitive job market, practical skills and understanding workplace dynamics are crucial. This module allows you to gain hands-on experience, enhancing your employability, and the opportunity to gain valuable professional insights via a 75-hour placement. You will be supported by various activities to secure a role and can source your own placement or apply to university-sourced roles. This module offers flexibility on when and how you complete your placement, enabling you to balance your placement around existing demands.

Advanced Databases and ApplicationsThe core aim of this module is to provide an advanced understanding of database techniques and current issues associated with database deployment. It enables you to develop a detailed and coherent knowledge of distributed database architectures, including techniques for semantic interoperability (schema homogenisation, data integration, query optimisation, and distributed transactions control) between heterogeneous data models and legacy information systems. Data warehousing concepts, architecture, analytical processing techniques and data mining are also covered as one of the distributed database applications.

Communications and NetworksThis module extends your knowledge of principles and practice in communications, computer network, and security technologies and their deployment. Learning about fundamental concepts is complemented by practical activities such as analysing network packets, developing network applications, designing computer networks and cryptography. The module provides valuable transferable skills in critical thinking and problem solving. The module content is applicable to those seeking careers in computing research, network security, network management and other digital communication and network areas.

Advanced Web TechnologiesModern multi-tiered web applications are developed with a wide range of techniques, libraries, languages, and tools. This module will teach you the necessary skills to develop such applications that can be used in a variety of settings, from small-scale web apps, to larger multi-tiered web apps serving thousands of clients. You will gain the knowledge to develop robust, distributed, and secure systems, that can withstand the high demands of today’s highly interconnected world.

Computational and Artificial Intelligence IIThis module will expand on the range of computational intelligence (CI) themes, and complementary Artificial Intelligence topics, introduced earlier in the degree. Importantly, the module will allow you to explore in greater depth, selected research-led topics at the forefront of current thinking in the rapidly evolving CI field. After completing this module, you can potentially pursue further research in industry or in education (e.g. as an MSc or PhD student).

Data Ethics and SecurityWriting efficient and correct code and learning practical skills are just some of the required skills of a Computer Science or Data Science professional. Alongside these skills, an appreciation of relevant ethics, regulations, governance frameworks and standards must be understood, both in a theoretical and practice sense. This module will help you to appreciate, debate, and apply these ideas, within the UK and globally. You will be assessed on a portfolio of case studies with practical and theoretical components.

"For my third year project, I created a Neuroevolutionary algorithm that could be used to predict the way a constituency would vote in a general election based on demographic data of the area such as age distribution, number of vehicles owned, and level of education. Being able to bring together all of the skills I had acquired throughout the course into an adventurous piece of work meant that to this day it is still one of my proudest achievements."

"Keele's School of Computer Science and Mathematics helped me turn a freshly discovered interest in computing into a full-fledged passion for all things Computer Science. My course had the perfect combination of compelling subject matter and insightful lecturers which resulted in a genuine excitement for each tutorial, lecture & workshop. During my placement year, Keele supported me in my 15-month software engineering internship with IBM - a true industry leader - that then evolved into full-time employment following my final year of study."
