This module provides you with an introduction to the use of games technology for serious applications, such as simulation, training/education, visualisation, and interactive experiences. Serious applications (also known as serious games) are the use of game technology for non-entertainment purposes, such as education, training, simulations, visualisation of data or an interactive experience. For example, a serious application could simulate a home and educate a user about cybersecurity risks within the home. Applications that use game technology are useful in many areas, such as architecture, engineering, construction, medical, cybersecurity, and sales. Through the exploration of games technology for serious applications you will also develop the academic skills needed to successfully study in higher education. This includes literature searching, academic writing, critical analysis, referencing and working in groups.

This module aims to integrate the subject material studied in other level 4 and 5 modules and give students experience of developing a software or hardware artefact in a team. Students will learn to work in teams to coordinate and manage a project.
Following on from 5CS021, which introduces the fundamental concepts of parallel algorithms implemented using multi-threading, this module introduces parallel programming in a distributed context. Firstly, distributed systems will be introduced using the client-server model implemented using sockets and students will implements systems that interact in this low level way. The second half of the module will look at a range of cloud technologies and culminate in a system being developed for and deployed to cloud infrastructure.
This module begins the journey from serial programs with one thread of execution to concurrency and on to high performance computing. You will learn about multi-threading using algorithms from numerical methods as a focus for implementation. You will also learn about the pitfalls of multi-threading (such as deadlocks and race conditions) and how to modify algorithms to avoid them. Simple methods of measuring performance may be analysed.
The purpose of this module is to introduce students to the field of object-oriented design and programming, and to the utilisation of industry-standard methods and techniques for development. This module builds upon students' learning of fundamental programming techniques and approaches in previous modules. Students will learn about fundamental object-oriented concepts such as class design, encapsulation, inheritance, composition, abstract classes and interfaces, using the Java programming language. Students will also be introduced to the principles behind and the use of industry-standard approaches to development such as version control, testing, test-driven development, and the development of professional-standard software documentation (such as APIs). Students will also be introduced to security issues in software design.
