What will I learn?

Our Computer Science IFP is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to be able to progress on to a range of Computing-related degree courses at university. The course will develop your understanding of the logic and mathematics that underpins computer technology as well as the digital electronics that is required make it work. You will learn how algorithms are used to solve problems and will learn how to convert these into computer languages; in particular the Python programming language. In addition to theoretical study there are practical opportunities for you to present your understanding of the ethics and consequences of using computer technology and the practical experience of designing implementing and delivering your own programming project.

How will I learn?

You will be taught through a combination of lectures and seminars which is the same type of teaching you can expect at undergraduate level in the UK. Lectures are where all students on a module are together (this can be up to 100 students on the IFP) and the academic tutor introduces the topic of study. Seminars are much smaller groups (typically no more than 15 students) where you have the opportunity to explore a subject in more detail with your academic tutor and classmates. In your seminars you will be expected to engage in discussions and debates around the subject matter. On the Computer Science IFP there will also be some practical lessons.

How will I be assessed?

Across your modules you will be assessed through a range of methods including presentations tests projects and examinations.
