Your teaching team
Dr. Adnan N. Qureshi
Dr. Adnan N. Qureshi received his Ph.D. from the Institute for Research in Applicable Computing (IRAC), University of Bedfordshire, UK. His research areas include bio-medical image and signal processing, computer vision, machine learning, optimization and autonomous systems. He is Programme Leader and Senior Lecturer of Computer Science.
Dr. Vincent Hall
Dr. Vincent Hall is currently working as Lecturer in Computer Science. He is an expert in Data Science and Machine Learning with a first UG masters degree in Physics and Astronomy (Leeds). His MSc was in the Physical Sciences – Life Sciences boundary (Warwick). His PhD entailed creating a Machine Learning method to help Chemists by estimating the structures of proteins with UV light scans. The latest version of this technology, now updated and added to by others, is licenced by Warwick Innovation to Pharma companies, and free for academic use.
Alethe Bailey
Alethe Bailey has a passion for computer science education and a strong commitment to life-long learning. She is convinced that teachers trained to the highest standards would provide children with the best schooling possible. She worked extensively on a range of computing projects and collaboratively with schools and other establishments to enhance teaching and learning.
Module delivery
There will be 3 modules per semester with 9 hours of teaching per week on campus.
Your journey into the world of Computer Science begins with a strong foundation. In your first year, you’ll explore the core principles that underpin this dynamic field. You’ll learn to analyse small-scale problems and design effective solutions using contemporary tools and technologies.
Through hands-on practical and engaging modules: Developing as a Computer Scientist, Programming Fundamentals, Fundamentals of Web Design, Object Oriented Programming & Data Structures, Database Design & Development and Fundamentals of Systems & Networking, you’ll develop essential technical skills with conceptual underpinnings
At the same time, you’ll be introduced to the ethos of the industry, including a critical awareness of professional and ethical considerations.
