It combines the rigorous studies of the BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Data Science) with a year of work placement in Year 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\n\n\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\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Semester 1<\/th><th>Semester 2<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f27sa-software-development-1\/\">F27SA Software Development 1<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f27sb-software-development-2\/\">F27SB Software Development 2<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f27id-introduction-to-interaction-design\/\">F27ID Introduction to Interaction Design<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/maths\/courses\/f17sc-discrete-mathematics\/\">F17SC Discrete Mathematics<\/a> <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f27px-praxis\/\">F27PX Praxis<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f27cs-introduction-to-computer-systems\/\">F27CS Introduction to Computer Systems<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/maths\/courses\/f17lp-logic-and-proof\/\">F17LP Logic and Proof<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f27wd-web-design-and-databases\/\">F27WD Web Design and Databases<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Year 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Semester 1<\/th><th>Semester 2<\/th><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f28ed-user-centred-experimental-design\/\">F28ED User-Centred Experimental Design<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f28sd-software-design\/\">F28SD Introduction to Software Engineering <\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f28wp-web-programming\/\">F28WP Web Programming<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f28dm-database-management-systems\/\">F28DM Database Management<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/students-archive\/2024-25\/cs\/courses\/f28sg-introduction-to-data-structures-algorithms\/\">F28SG Introduction  to Data Structures &amp;
