The goal of the module is to give you confidence in computational thinking and problem solving via programming. Lectures cover the basic principles of computer architecture, operating systems, and networks, and build an understanding of the multiple layers and levels of abstraction that allow computer systems to work.
The module focusses on a practical understanding of the Software Engineering life-cycle and how software projects are planned and managed, together with practical skills in methods and tools for software design and testing. Particular attention will be given to object-oriented development using UML for information and system modelling. Crucially, you’ll become familiar with the issues and consequences of being a professional software engineer, including aspects related to team work and risk management.
A consequence for computer scientists aiming to develop modern secure software systems is that we are very likely to include a networking aspect to our code. This module aims to enable computer scientists to design appropriate network and protocol support into systems that will work in our increasingly networked world.

Crucially, you’ll learn how to write robust distributed software systems that operate correctly, with an expected level of performance and accuracy while maintaining secure communications.
