Computing & Web

Our computing and web courses prepare you for a career in a range of industries – from heavy industry to health and business. They allow you to build the knowledge and skills necessary to work in these rapidly changing environments. We understand the importance of working closely with businesses – all our degree routes will allow you to enhance your CV through a paid, fully supervised one-year placement in industry.

Quality teaching

BCS Educational Affiliate The School of Computing maintains close links with industry, with academics actively involved in consultancy and work force development activities. This feeds into the classroom, ensuring our courses are relevant and up to date.

The high quality of computing and web courses at Teesside has been recognised by a national review undertaken by the Higher Education Funding Council for England. A report by the British Computer Society (BCS) highlighted “the positive approach to course delivery, innovation and student support”.

First-class facilities

Our classrooms are designed to provide an innovative learning environment that will support the changing needs of students and industry. Teesside’s computing resources are exceptional. Each lab is constructed to promote learning for the specific area being taught - including systems analysis, computer networks, programming in a wide range of languages, artificial intelligence, human computer interaction, animation, enterprise projects, e-commerce and .net environments. This environment will help to prepare you for work in industry by promoting team work and the use of case studies, problem solving and methods such as peer programming.

Supportive study

Although we do expect you to develop as an independent learner, we commit a wealth of resources to assisting your learning journey. We provide dedicated staff who can support you academically and personally both as an individual and as part of a course cohort throughout your time with us. As one of our students you have access to personal tutors, counsellors, award winning careers guidance and module and course leaders. We also provide a dedicated IT Help Desk (with out of hours service) to provide help with PC, Mac and Unix/Linux systems.

Professional accreditations

Our BSc honours degree in Computer Science is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). Honours degrees have been granted either full or partial exemption from BCS exams.

Research and enterprise

Our research falls into three broad areas: human computer interactions, software engineering and virtual worlds. Interaction between people and the computer lies at the heart of four of our research areas: Interactive Systems, Special Needs, Multimedia Education and Community Informatics. Each of these areas work together to investigate the effect that computer technology has on the activities and behaviour of individuals, groups and communities.
