Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computer Science with Placement Year

at University of Bradford United Kingdom

Our degree in Archaeology integrates traditional archaeology with the practical application of scientific methods that are applied to today’s archaeology.

It is a professionally-focused degree in archaeology with a strong fieldwork component and a focus on human osteology or the environment.

Your degree pathway in the second and final years will comprise a number of compulsory core modules that characterise this combination of archaeology and applied archaeological science. We offer a number of clear pathways, which will provide you with a specialism in, for example, prehistoric archaeology or in cultural resource management.

The application of appropriate financial technology and analytical skills is a growing priority, particular for finance professionals. In increasingly competitive environments, professionals within the financial sector require a more detailed view of their organisations financial data.

This programme is designed with inputs from leading industry professionals and strikes a balance between the mechanics of analytical methods and the dynamic finance-related decision-making process. We aim to develop our students as finance professionals of the future who, equipped with analytics skills, have the appropriate attributes to reduce risks through making smarter, timely and more accurate financial decisions.

Students will gain technical data science skills and non-technical management skills along with a deep understanding of the application of analytics within the context of financial management. 

It is envisaged that by 2020 more than 50 billion devices, or things, around the globe will be connected to the Internet - making Internet of Things (IoT) a mainstream technology.

Smart Cities, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Self-Driving cars, Smart Grids, Smart Homes and Buildings, Smart Infrastructure, Smart Agriculture, Smart Health, Smart Mobility are some of the application areas driving the phenomenal growth of IoT.

Businesses are already exploring how to adopt IoT for their operations, but they lack IoT skills and knowledge among employees and management.

This unique full-time Master's programme is designed by experts in the field with wealth of research and development experience in IoT to address this shortage of professionally qualified specialists.
