Find your place within this diverse course at DMU - with over 50 years of teaching and BCS accreditation, we continue to focus on modern approaches to software systems development as well as the exploration of theoretical and practical programming language concepts and software design methods.
Our facilities provide computer workstations for students to use, with four interconnected computing laboratories with HP PCs running Windows/Linux. Many of the software packages are open source, meaning our students can download and run the software as needed for their course while at home.
Block teaching designed around you
You deserve a positive teaching and learning experience, where you feel part of a supportive and nurturing community. That’s why most students will enjoy an innovative approach to learning using block teaching, where you will study one module at a time. You’ll benefit from regular assessments – rather than lots of exams at the end of the year – and a simple timetable that allows you to engage with your subject and enjoy other aspects of university life such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering your new city. By studying with the same peers and tutor for each block, you’ll build friendships and a sense of belonging. Read more about block teaching.
