BSc (Hons) Computing Bachelor's degree at London Metropolitan University

This module introduces students to the basics of Information Technology; past, current and future trend in computer systems. The detailed design of a small-scale Computer Systems is presented where students have the opportunity to build, configure and test a computer system for a given application. Students will identify the basic features of the Windows operating system and its elements. Health Safety issues and the safe disposal of equipment is also covered leading to an understanding and appr

Students will receive an introduction to the principles of information processing and an overview of the information technologies for digital data processing using computational and communication devices, including an initial understanding of the requirements for usability, quality, complexity, security and privacy of the developed solution. The students will obtain initial practical skills in modelling, design, implementation and testing of software systems for real-world application using a su

Students will receive an introduction to the business environment and the role of information management and information systems within business. The module develops an understanding of the Information Systems, the Software Development process and the basic technology underpinning these systems. This will include database management systems and the Internet. Students which will develop key skills and knowledge in the aspects of an information system, including databases, websites, and scripts wi

The module aims are to give the students an understanding of how problems can be solved systematically, plan their solutions and write them in the form of algorithms. This module also develops a range of mathematical techniques including set theory, logic, relations, functions and operational research techniques. In addition, it gives a grounding in standard software packages, to give students an understanding of their use in problem solving as well as to make students able to apply these packag

This is an introductory programming module, designed to develop interest, ability and confidence in using a programming language. Students will gain the basic knowledge and experience to solve simple programming problems using established techniques in program design, development and documentation. It is expected that on completion of this module, students will be able to design, implement and test object-oriented programs. The student is also expected to develop their confidence needed to progr

This module will enable students to understand the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing concepts, building blocks, ecosystems, infrastructure, and applications. This will enrich their knowledge and understanding of the core technologies and platforms for IoT and Clouds, that allows digitally enabled devices or objects to collect, gather, and transfer data over a network without involving human-to-human or human-to-machine interaction. The module will place emphasis on IoT components and

Introduces techniques for analysing, designing and implementing database systems. An understanding of data modelling and design concepts is provided, and database programming language skills are taught. The practical aspect of developing database systems is emphasised, and use is made of a widely used commercial database system (e.g., Oracle) for this purpose. The module will enable students to introduce the issues governing the design and implementation of database systems. Theoretical aspects

Network Operating Systems (NOS) are crucial across various industries, ensuring efficient communication, security, and resource management among networked devices. In corporate and enterprise networks, businesses depend on NOS for file sharing, email servers, cloud computing, and centralized security management, enabling seamless collaboration and data protection across multiple locations. In healthcare, NOS supports hospital networks, electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine platforms, an

This module focuses on professional, social, ethical issues within the context of social responsibility and covers relevant computer laws (LSEPI) underpinning the Computing discipline. The focus of the module is empowering student to take their place in society as socially responsible professionals and allowing the exploration of self-awareness, empathy, self-efficacy and engagement in students.
