Computing for Business Applications: Single Honours - BSc 3 Years
The programme, taught jointly by the School of Computer Science and Manchester Business School, will equip you with the mixture of technical and contextual skills required to design and deploy effective software systems in commercial or public organisations.
Increasingly, employers are seeking graduates with high-level computing skills, and the ability to apply them in innovative ways to solve the problems facing their organisations. Opportunities exist in fields as diverse as finance, films and games, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, consumer products, and public services - virtually all areas of business and society. Employers, from large multinational firms such as EA Games , IBM and Microsoft to small local organisations, actively target our students, recognising that Manchester Computer Science graduates are equipped with the skills that enable them to excel in a whole host of positions, including many that are not traditionally associated with computing graduates.
Knowledge Representation by Alice Farquharson
'Knowledge Representation (KR) is a concept fundamental to computer science that strives to capture some aspect of the real world in a computational form. The ability to determine consequences to actions through reasoning of these models has enabled the development of a range of systems designed to automate intelligent deduction, such as medical diagnostic software and speech recognisers.'
