It combines the rigorous studies of the BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Data Science) with a year of work placement in level 4. Good performance means 12 months experience of working in an organisation in the computing sector. The Diploma in Industrial Training is gained through successful completion of the work placement. The work placement helps you to develop specific work-related skills, giving you the opportunity to apply and build upon the theory you\u2019ve learned. This course aims to give a well-integrated balance of theoretical underpinnings and practical experience, strongly informed by the research expertise of our academic staff.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accreditation: <\/strong>BSc (Hons) Computer Science is accredited by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bcs.org\/\">British Computer Society<\/a>, the Chartered Institute for IT.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Year\u00a01<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hw.ac.uk\/staff\/uk\/macs\/michael-lones.htm\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hw.ac.uk\/staff\/img\/LONES.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Year 1 Year Co-ordinator: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hw.ac.uk\/staff\/uk\/macs\/michael-lones.htm\">Dr Michael Lones<\/a> (Edinburgh)<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\" width=\"50%\">Semester 1<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\" width=\"50%\">Semester 2<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f27sa-software-development-1\/\">F27SA Software Development 1<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f27sb-software-development-2\/\">F27SB Software Development 2<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f27is-interactive-systems\/\">\u00a0F27IS Interactive Systems<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f27sg-software-development-3\/\">F27SG Software Development 3<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f27px-praxis\/\"> F27PX Praxis<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f27cs-introduction-to-computer-systems\/\">\u00a0F27CS Introduction to Computer Systems<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/maths\/courses\/f17lp-logic-and-proof\/\"> F17LP Logic and Proof<\/a><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f27wd-web-design-and-databases\/\">F27WD Web Design and Databases<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Year 2<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hw.ac.uk\/staff\/uk\/macs\/tessa-berg.htm\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hw.ac.uk\/staff\/img\/BergPic.jpg\" alt=\"Tessa Berg\" width=\"135\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Year 2 Year Co-ordinator: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hw.ac.uk\/staff\/uk\/macs\/tessa-berg.htm\">Dr Tessa Berg<\/a> (Edinburgh)<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\" width=\"50%\">Semester 1<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\" width=\"50%\">Semester 2<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f28in-interaction-design\/\">F28IN Interaction Design<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f28sd-software-design\/\">F28SD Software Design<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f28wp-web-programming\/\">F28WP Web Programming<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f28dm-database-management-systems\/\">F28DM Database Management<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2018-19\/cs\/courses\/f28da-data-structures-and-algorithms\/\"> F28DA Data Structures &amp;
