Third year
All students undertake a large (double weighted) individual project
that continues throughout the year, enabling them to tackle a large
or complex problem under the supervision of a member of staff.
Single honours students choose six of the following modules and
dual honours students choose two:

Course type

Software Engineering Project Management provides an
understanding of the problems and techniques associated with
software engineering project management.

BBB/ABC

Games Computing delivers comprehensive knowledge of a games
engine and the theory and practice of computer game design.
Advanced Information Systems provides an advanced
understanding of the use of information systems for decision
support and of the issues involved in the planning and management
of information systems.
Advanced Databases and Applications provides an advanced
understanding of database techniques and current issues associated
with database deployment.
IT Architectures delivers the concepts, methods and tools involved
in the IT architecture discipline.
Communications and Networks extends your knowledge of
principles and practice in communications and computer network
technologies and their deployment.
Electronic Commerce provides a theoretical and practical
understanding of the problems involved in the development of web
based electronic commerce applications.
Computational Intelligence II explores selected research led topics
at the forefront of the rapidly evolving computational intelligence
field. On completion of this module you will be well placed to
pursue further research in industry or in academia, for example
as a PhD student.
Single honours students interested in teaching or training as a
career can gain an early experience of teaching in a school or
college, subject to interview and a secured place, by choosing
the double weighted module Computing in Education.

Good to know
The external examiner for Keele’s computing
subjects commented “There is a good balance
of theory and practical work in particular which
allows students to develop an in-depth knowledge
of the subject along with the essential technical
skills. The courses have evolved as I have been in
post and they are almost always at the forefront of
the relevant technology or science being taught.”
