The Institute is broad-based and covers
an extensive range of disciplines within the information,
mathematical and related engineering sciences. The following
core disciplines are represented within the Institute:
Computer
Science : The design and analysis of all
aspects of computer systems including hardware, operating
systems, networks, software engineering, together with
computer applications and underlying fundamental theory.
Information
Technology : The Information Technology
programme emphasises the real-world application of computer-based
systems, and the tools and processes used to build them.
You could choose, as many do, to study Information Technology
together with other areas such as Accountancy, Computer
Science, Finance, Geography, Planning, Management or
Statistics. We encourage you to study Information Technology
along with another specialisation.
Mathematics
: The underpinning of the fundamental basis of Computer
Science and Statistics as well as providing scientific
models of all real-life processes involving quantity
and measurement. A focus on applied mathematical modelling
with applications to the physical and engineering sciences.
Statistics
: The design of surveys and experiments to gather
information, extraction of information through data
analysis, construction and application of models of
real-life processes which entail uncertainty, and inference
techniques to make decisions and predictions with measurable
precision.
The Institute places an emphasis on the
development of interdisciplinary programmes integrating
the key component disciplines such as networks and communications,
computational science, datamining, and operations research. |
