The Project

Choose 1 from the following:

Computer Science Project (if your programme is BSc Computer Science)
Information Systems Project (if your programme is BSc Information Systems)
E-learning Project (if your programme is BSc Computer Science)

The project is a substantial piece of practical work. It typically involves some programming plus many other aspects of computer science, information systems, or software development. You will be allocated a project tutor who will work with you individually, helping and guiding you through the entire project.
Your project enables you to extend and deepen your knowledge of computer science and to apply it in a particular context. You plan and manage the work yourself, with guidance from your project tutor and with the support of course material on key project issues. You will need to report regularly on your progress and to produce a final report at the end.

Here's why you should get a degree

There are many benefits to be derived from attaining a Bachelors degree. Research has shown that holders of a degree tend to earn more than those who don't have a degree. In fact a study done by the US Census Bureau showed that persons with a degree earns an average of 43 percent more than someone without one over the course of a lifetime (The Big Payoff: Educational Attainment and Synthetic Estimates of Work-Life Earnings)

In addition to the obvious financial benefits of earning a degree, there are also non monetary benefits to degree holders. Degree holders tend to hold higher quality jobs leading to a career rather than less fulfilling positions. The children of degree holders also benefit from their parents' academic achievement from greater parental involvement in their education. Overall graduates, tend to be a source of innovation and contribute to economic growth.
