Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: F281
Here's what City College Plymouth says about its Computer Systems Development course.
There are a small number of large IT organisations in the South West of England, and a few other large businesses making significant use of IT in order to advance their business. In addition to these there is a vibrant and thriving community of IT and Digital SMEs who are working on a national and global scale. Our aim is to equip our graduates with the knowledge to be able to participate in this industry at a local level, either by starting up their own businesses, or contributing to the work of others as desirable and skilled employees. Additionally, if they desire to take their knowledge and skills to other parts of the UK, and around the globe, they will be more than adequately equipped to do so. Students will learn about programming, database development, computer networks, system security and more.
