Why study computing?
Our computing graduates of 2011 have witnessed an upturn in sector employment with most finding work before their graduation ceremony. Mobile computing and the growth of the app market have created new business opportunities that many companies cannot exploit without recourse to newly skilled graduates. If you want your studies to lead to a fulfilling well paid career, then now is the time to enrol on one of our computing courses.
What will I learn?
During the first year, you’ll learn the core skills within computing. During the rest of your course, you’ll choose from a range of specialist areas, including
- creating complex software applications
- programming digital games
- designing the content and structure of complex multimedia systems
- designing complex 3D models
- delivering to mobile platforms
- creating a range of multimedia resources including images, sounds, animation, video, 3D and interactive elements – and learning how to assemble them into engaging, usable and useful products and services
Our computing courses are designed to prepare students for professional practice and provide for continuing professional development after graduation.
Placements
Our placement modules enable you to apply your specialist skills in paid employment and gain valuable hands-on experience and to build industry contacts that will be invaluable when you graduate. We help our students to find suitable placements. Recent graduates have also benefited from employers’ training schemes.
Who will teach me?
Members of staff come from careers in the industry and are involved in current practice and developments. They have a range of industry contacts and are dedicated to supporting students.
Career options
All types of organisations need graduates who understand how technology can support and enhance their activities. Recent University of Brighton graduates have started careers as technology analyst (Bank of America), web developer (Xerox) and database developer (BT). You can also go on to further study; our postgraduate programmes cover a range of areas such as digital television management and production, and software engineering.
"The exciting thing about working in this area is that the rate of change is so fast. There is always something new and exciting to explore. My passion is opening up these possibilities for students and seeing them gain confidence in a subject that can give them a great future."
