Birkbeck’s BSc Computing top-up programme aims to develop knowledge, technical skills and self-directed learning skills in computing, especially in areas affected by rapidly changing information technology. Final-year students carry out a complex real-world computing project. Modern computing and information system skills often become obsolete as new technology is developed. Therefore the programme strikes a balance between learning current skills, which are important in the marketplace, and emphasising the underlying theories, which last longer and which provide a sound basis for developing new skills, techniques and technologies, and even new theories. The social and organisational impacts of information technology are also included. Birkbeck is equipped with four modern computing laboratories in the Department, with a total of 133 workstations. The labs have projection facilities and are air-conditioned. The wide range of software runs on a number of platforms including Unix, Windows and Linux. The local area network is a switched gigabit/10gigabit ethernet. The Department and College computers are connected to the JANET academic network. Departmental computer services and networks are managed and supported by the Department's Systems Group. Graduates can pursue careers in software engineering, information systems management, research and consultancy. This degree may also be useful in becoming a database administrator, IT consultant, systems analyst or IT trainer.
