Content linked to current research
Our modules expose students to current research in the discipline. The content of our lectures is informed by the research activities and interests of the staff teaching those subjects. The departments also host seminars to further expose students to research which are presented by external researchers and expert practitioners.
Teaching of research methods and processes
Students on all taught programmes learn about research methods and processes relevant to their disciplines in each module. Modules also contain a practical element which enables students to engage and practice methods of research.
Research projects are undertaken by students
Individual projects are an important and integral part of all our taught programmes; the range of projects offered by staff aims to cater for a range of student abilities and interests and specifically includes projects dedicated to current research within the School; students are encouraged to challenge themselves by undertaking such projects.
The School also makes use of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) vacation bursaries which fund undergraduate students undertaking research projects under the supervision of staff over the summer.
Online programmes
The aims of online programmes are to offer computing professionals as well as graduates the opportunity to develop and update their subject knowledge and professional skills, while continuing in full-time employment. Research-connected teaching makes sure that teaching is up to date and at the cutting edge of global developments in the field of information technology.
