BSc (Hons) Cloud Computing Bachelor's degree at Coventry University

This module seeks to provide you with an introduction to the fundamentals of software and database design, including the mathematical principles underpinning computer systems such as Boolean algebra and logic, as well as the principles of database design covering database modelling through the entity-relational model, database normalisation and SQL. A fundamental understanding of Object Oriented Programming Principles will be explored through practical programming workshops. You will be required

This module seeks to provide you with an introduction to the fundamentals of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), web applications and Serverless Computing, covering User Experience and human factors that are fundamental to the web design process and how to apply programming techniques in the creation of web applications. A principle understanding of Serverless Computing will be explored through practical workshops enabling you the opportunity to deploy web applications utilising industry-standard

This module aims to provide you with knowledge of computer networking essentials, protocols, standards and security considerations. We will explore these principles through the design and implementation of a network using a range of hardware and software, which is designed to help you develop core knowledge of Local Area Networking, Wide Area Networking and the protocols related to IP networks. You will be introduced to the usage of various network topologies in software-defined networks (SDN) h

During this module, we aim to teach you the concepts, architecture, and services of cloud computing and you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in configuring cloud infrastructure and also explore how to integrate physical infrastructure into a hybrid solution. You will be given the opportunity to develop a core understanding of concepts surrounding cloud computing, covering deployment models and types of cloud solutions and technology underpinning the usage of cloud solutions

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) represents an approach to computer networking that attempts to address weaknesses in current networking design and operation. SDN's move to a highly scalable and centralised network control architecture better suited to large-scale networks prevalent in today's mega-scale data centres and infrastructure. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) can improve user experience by delivering a cached copy of content from a nearby edge, allowing for more complex and responsive

This module introduces the fundamentals of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) and is supported by an exploration of statistical mathematic theory. You will be exposed to machine learning algorithms and implementations, supported by the opportunity of hands-on experience using industry-leading cloud platforms. Machine learning can enable systems to learn from data or to solve problems without being explicitly programmed, and can be used in several areas such as predictive mode

This module introduces the fundamentals of security compliance and its implications within the cloud. Organisations expect their workforce to take their asset security seriously. The loss of data by an organisation can have severe consequences, including prosecution and loss of customers. You should benefit from contemporary case studies, including examples of corporate theft, regulatory approaches to IT security and international cooperation between agencies and nation-states. As system adminis

This module is designed to allow you to propose, implement and suggest a management strategy to fulfil enterprise business requirements, and the need and purpose of systems integration to support organisational goals. You are expected to gather and review business objectives to develop a systems specification document, with the opportunity to evaluate factors and issues affecting the successful completion of the integration, and describe and document the functional architecture and design of a s

This module provides you with an opportunity to reflect upon and gain experience for an approved placement undertaken during your programme. A placement should usually be at least 26 weeks or equivalent; however, each placement will be considered on its own merits, having regard to the ability to achieve the learning outcomes.

This module provides you with an opportunity to reflect upon and gain experience for an approved international study/work placement undertaken during your programme. A work/study placement should usually be at least 26 weeks or equivalent; however, each placement will be considered on its own merits, having regard to the ability to achieve the learning outcomes.

This module builds on the knowledge gained since the start of the course, focusing on designing a cloud project that includes both a cloud architecture solution and a cloud software solution to tackle real-world problems. You'll work within a widely recognised project management framework, while observing service management practices, to plan and organise your project. This experience is designed to give you a solid foundation in managing projects from start to finish, using agile methods to ada

In this module, you'll conduct research related to your project's goals, presenting your findings in both written reports and presentations. You'll focus on developing your technical skills, specifically in creating a cloud architecture that meets your project's needs. Keeping your project documentation up to date and aligned with project management standards is a key part of this module. It's a chance to show your ability to handle complex technical tasks and make informed decisions.

This module challenges you to carry out in-depth research to achieve the goals set at the beginning of the project year, with the aim of presenting your findings clearly in writing and verbally. You'll be encouraged to critically assess your research process and identify lessons for future improvement. Developing a cloud software solution that supports your project's objectives is a major focus, requiring advanced technical skills. This module emphasises the importance of keeping your project do

Here, you'll learn about how services are managed, delivered, and supported, using industry best practices as a guide. The module covers various aspects of IT service management, especially for small- to medium-sized businesses. Towards the end of your project, you'll apply what you've learned about service management to your cloud solutions, ensuring you have a solid plan for project closure. This module aims to give you a practical understanding of the principles and practices involved in mana
