Semester One Modules
CSU11011 Introduction to Programming I
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) This module provides an introductory course in computer programming. This course takes a practical approach to teaching the fundamental concepts of computer programming with a strong emphasis on tutorial and laboratory work and is an important vehicle for developing students’ analytical and problem-solving skills. This module aims to give students an understanding of how computers can be employed to solve real-world (albeit small) problems.
CSU11001 – Mathematics I
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) The module aims to provide students with an introduction to the mathematics, both continuous and discrete, which lies at the foundation of many real-world applications in Computer Science, Engineering and the Social Sciences.
CSU11021 – Introduction to Computing I
(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) An introduction to the basic structure and operation of a computer system, focussing on the processor (CPU), memory and the execution of programs.
Linguistics Modules
LIU11009 Syntax I (5 Credits)
Semester Two Modules
CSU11013 – Programming Project
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) This module concentrates on the development of practical programming ability through example-based lecturing coupled with intensive laboratory sessions. The emphasis throughout is on producing working programs, starting with interactive graphical applications and moving on to construction of a larger group project involving a data visualisation task.
CSU12002 – Mathematics II
(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) Mathematics is of interest to computer scientists due to the fact that it is both
practical and theoretical in nature.
