Computing Applicant Taster Day activities - 14 March

An Applicant Taster Day is an unmissable opportunity to get hands-on with your chosen course. Tailored for DMU applicants and the course you've applied for, we'll be holding demonstrations, exercises and activities that give you a flavour of what you'll experience when studying here at DMU. Some sessions are subject to availability and have limited spaces, so we recommend booking early.

Below is a list of the activities running on the day for Computing courses. Take a look at what's going on for the course you've applied for, then book your place on the form underneath.

  1. Artificial Intelligence

    Find out why Artificial Intelligence is vitally important for today’s society and what we can currently do with it, as well as what we envision for the future. This will be a discussion-lead taster, providing you with a solid foundation to further inspire you.

  2. Business Information Systems, Computing, Computing for Business, Information and Communication Technology

    In this session you will be given the opportunity to explore the basics of visual web development, take part in an ethical dilemma exercise, learn how to dismantle and assemble a computer and understand the basics of the underlying hardware. You'll also get an opportunity to look at student work, including final year projects, and speak to our current and past students.

  3. Computer Games Production, Computer Games Programming

    Computer Games Production BSc and Computer Games Programming BSc is designed for students who wish to pursue a technical career in the creative games and entertainment industry. In this session, our specialist academics will introduce you to the concept of game design and demonstrate how a game can be deployed to the PC platform. If you enjoy playing computer games, this session is perfect for you!

  4. Computer Science, Software Engineering

    Computer Science BSc and Software Engineering BSc give students a solid foundation of the major themes of technical computing, including: software development, database design and web technologies, theoretical and practical foundations, computer security and an awareness of professional practice and social responsibility. Come along and undertake a variety of short computer programming exercises within our dedicated computer science laboratories, allowing you to gain first-hand experience of our facilities.

  5. Cyber Security, Digital Forensics

    What went wrong with WannaCry in the NHS? In May 2017 the NHS was badly hit by ransomware. In a discussion we will try to find out the reasons for this – a fair few technical ones, sure, but also organisational, legal, and ethical. What can be done and has been done to prevent this happening again? What role do cyber security and digital forensics specialists get to play in a situation like this?

  6. Mathematics

    Enjoy a hands on practical session using MATLAB to solve real life mathematical problems...this is a taster of what you would do in the practical lab sessions at DMU.
