## Computer Science Modules- Joint Honours

**Students who have selected the Joint Honours pathway select **20 ECTS**of electives from those listed below.**

(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) What is an Internet Application and how have these evolved?

(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) Explain how high tech venture creation operates, with an emphasis on the processes developed by the Silicon Valley venture community over the past 20 years

(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) The module provides an introduction to the field of Human-Computer Interaction, focused both on understanding human interactions with technology and on the design of useful and usable interactive systems.

(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) Understand in general what a probabilistic model is, the distinction between so-called visible and hidden variables, and the distinctive nature of models where each datum is a sequence of varying length, rather then a fixed-size set of features

(Semester 1 & 2, 10 ECTS) The objective of this course is to introduce students to Strategic Information Systems in the workplace and society.

(Semester 2, 10 ECTS) Instruction will be provided in Agile development methodologies and facilities will be provided in order to promote close collaboration between team members.

(Semester 2, 5 ECTS) An in-depth initiation into some topics in Knowledge Representation and Automata

(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) The objective of this module is to equip the students with the fundamental understanding of the major elements of Computer Graphics and explore related areas including geometric modelling, rendering and animation.

(Semester 1, 5 ECTS) This course will introduce you to the exciting new field of fuzzy systems and the related topics in machine learning and the so-called deep learning neural nets.
