Students will also have the opportunity to learn programming languages such as Python and R. The department's software engineering approach to building applications helps students to develop a life-cycle view of software development.
In a typical week, learning takes place through a combination of lectures, tutorials and practical work in the labs. Students will be able to discuss and develop their understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller group sessions, and put their learning into practice in the University's specialist computer laboratories. Outside of timetabled sessions, they'll need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework, presentations and exams. Greenwich's Stockwell Street library and online resources will support further reading and research. Learners can also join a range of student societies, including our Computer and Technology Society, Gre Cyber Sec, Forensic Science Society, and Games Development Society.
