Our Training programme aims to provide the core competencies required for a career in building centralised and distributed software systems. It covers areas such as information systems analysis, database design, software engineering, user interface development, networking and Internet technologies. There is a strong emphasis on industrial relevance and professional development.

MODULE AIMS:
Students should be able to:
A1:
• Identify problems in information systems development and discuss their underlying causes. (LO1)
• Explain how different approaches and human factors can contribute to the software development process. (LO2)
• Appraise the wider ethical issues associated with information systems development and discuss their implications  or computers and computerised information. (LO3)
A2:
• Review methodologies, frameworks and approaches for information systems development. (LO4)

approach to systems development. (LO9)
• Describe the steps involved in object-oriented analysis. (LO10)
• Describe the steps involved in object-oriented design. (LO11)
