Distributed Computing: Single Honours - BSc 3 Years
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.
Access Grid on the Beach
'The Access Grid enables people in different cities, countries, or continents to meet with each other as if they were in the same room. This project involves the development of software to enable Access Grid participants to appear to be in any desired location by use of the reflective material, LED light rings and any chosen image, such as the Eiffel Tower for participants in Paris, or the Golden Gate Bridge for participants in San Francisco.'
