"assessmentMethods": "Each course typically involves three to four contact hours per week over a 12-week semester, except the Research Project or Extended Research Project in the Summer semester which require self-directed learning with academic supervision, and the internship which requires part-time work placement for two-three months (minimum of 200 hours).\n\nThe balance of assessment by examination, practical assessment and assessment by coursework will vary for each programme and will also depend on the optional electives you choose each year and may be subject to change. The methods of assessment can involve the use of term-papers, portfolios of work, quizzes, mid-semester and final exams as well as student presentations and general class discussion. Not every component applies to every course, but most do relate to many of the classes that are offered. Many of our courses involve a site visit or require attendance at a public lecture as well.\n\nCore:\n\nCoursework 62%, Practical 38% and Examination 0%\nAssessment is by examination, essays, dissertations, and other forms of written work; oral presentations and group work; as well as projects. The assessment for this programme is level 7.",

"summary": "**Develop competence in Tech. Be competitive in any sector.**\n\nThis programme provides a structured and coherent route into computer science by introducing essential technical principles, developing core practical skills, and enabling students to apply their learning to real-world problems.\n\nGraduates from non-computing backgrounds can transition into the computing discipline upon successful completion. You can learn industry-relevant skills in applied computing and digital technologies. The curriculum covers foundational topics including programming, networks and security, human-computer interaction, and AI-enhanced web technologies, progressing to an independent professional research project or internship.\n\n**Why study Applied Computer Science?**\n- Conversion route – This programme has been constructed to provide students with a structured and coherent route into computer science by introducing essential technical principles, developing core practical skills, and enabling students to apply their learning to real-world problems. You’re not expected to have prior coding experience.\n\n\n- Competence and Confidence – The curriculum has been deliberately designed to build confidence and competence in key areas of computing, progressing from introductory and foundational topics to more complex applied subjects and, ultimately, to an independent or workplace-based project. The programme is both practical and insightful.\n\n\n- Relevance – The programme content remains current with sector developments, including increasing demand for foundational programming expertise, cybersecurity, AI literacy, data-informed decision-making, and the integration of AI-enabled technologies into mainstream computing practice.\n\n\n- Knowledge, Theory and Practical skills – Courses such as Programming Principles and Concepts, Computer Networks and Security, Human Computer Interaction, AI Literacy, and Web Technologies with AI directly address these expectations ensuring students gain both the theoretical grounding and applied skills identified in national digital skills reports and employer consultations.\n\n\n- Tailor your final courses to achieve your career goals: Choose from a Professional Research Project + Internship placement, or Extended Professional Project, depending on whether you want to go into Research or Professional work after graduation.\n",
