Year 2 
Year 3 You will begin by developing an idea into a proposal, outlining the intention of the work. You will then develop this into an artefact suitable for your course, such as a piece of software, a specification or a code of practice by undertaking rigorous, professional academic research techniques and applying the summation of your knowledge and skills from your course, work experience, if possible, and personal development. All of this work will be presented in a professionally produced, academic report detailing your finding and reflections on your achievement.
Ultimately, it will give you the opportunity to participate in our end of course Graduate Exhibition where you can showcase your work to industry leaders, offering tremendous career opportunities and maximising your exit velocity as well as being your opportunity to join in a fabulous celebration and maybe join our honour roll of prize winners.

What do our students say?
2010 Computer Science Cohort
Over the past three years at BUV, so much has transpired. I’ve met incredible classmates who may be younger but are super talented in Cyber Securities, who stood by my side until the very last night of our student lives. I’ve had the privilege of working with supportive instructors and professors at the School of Computing and Innovative Technologies. I was even fortunate enough to embark on an amazing trip to the UK last year, thanks to BUVs sponsorship.
It doesn’t matter how many bugs you encounter while programming your own life. What truly matters is your willingness to seek out new solutions and persevere until they’re fixed.
2010 Computer Science Cohort
During my first year at school, I learned a lot of different types of basic code. Each subject has its own beauty, and also, from completing and doing assignments, including individual and group assignments, I know my strengths better. In addition, one of the things I still enjoy most when studying the Computer Course at BUV is that the teachers are very friendly and professional.
