Graduate School of Management - Diploma in Computing Level 5
Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS or Comp Sci) is the scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications. A computer scientist specializes in the theory of computation and the design of computational systems.Its subfields can be divided into practical techniques for its implementation and application in computer systems and purely theoretical areas. Some, such as computational complexity theory, which studies fundamental properties of computational problems, are highly abstract, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize real-world applications. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to description of computations, while the study of computer programming itself investigates various aspects of the use of programming languages and complex systems, and human-computer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans.
The course is made up of
10 level 5 modules (120
credits)
Each module consists of 40 guided learning hours of material with an additional 30-50 hours worth of optional materials which comprise of recommended exercises, recommended readings and internet resources.Within the modules are self testing exercises. You must take care in answering these. Although they are not marked nor do they count towards your final assessment, the marking is tested against your scoring on the final assessment to check for consistency of score.
The modules are written against prescribed
learning outcomes defined by the Qualifications and Credit
Framework (QCF) administered by Ofqual,
the Government appointed regulator. In addition the learning
outcomes are articulated against the ATHE UK (www.atheuk.com) curriculum
who is a recognised awarding body monitored and assessed by
QAA, the Quality
Assurance Agency, the Government appointed quality assurance
body.
Successful completion of the full Level 5 Diploma in Computing and final year of an accredited Undergraduate Degree programme, will give students the right credentials to go on and apply for a job in marketing, accounting, human resources, management or business consultancy.
