The second year Team Projects Module was a group project that spanned both semesters and required us to work in small groups to produce a number of solutions to an issue that a company may have in the real world. It challenged us to apply previously learned programming, presenting, report writing, design and implementation knowledge to a real business case.
I completed a placement year in the Finance Division at Morgan Stanley. This experience was highly invaluable as it not only gave me an insight into banking and the corporate world, but allowed me to develop many transferable skills, whilst earning a competitive salary and gaining experience for my CV.
When I graduate, I’m hoping to go into Digital Consulting, so that I can help firms to improve technology within their business operations. My degree has provided me with skills and knowledge to bridge the gap between revenue generating business functions and technology departments within firms.
I would highly recommend my degree to anyone who is interested in learning both theoretical computing knowledge as well as how business’ function and operate. I believe that this degree has given me a varied knowledge base and facilitated my development of a well-rounded skill set.
