What is the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to everyday objects, which have the ability to harvest information, the intelligence to process the information, and the connectivity capabilities to communicate the results. IoT enables and facilitates smart cities, smart environment, smart agriculture as well as major improvements in industrial applications, security & emergency operations, health monitoring and home automation.

 

What is the BSc (Hons) in Applied Computing (Internet of Things)?

The BSc (Hons) in Computer Science (Internet of things) is a full-time, four-year, honours degree course of study that can be chosen within the Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Computer Science (Common Entry)

 

The aim of the course

This course is designed to equip students with the skills & knowledge to become Internet of Things practitioners who are comfortable when dealing with the many kinds of devices and systems that connect the Internet and the environment. Such competence must be built on an awareness of the various means with which devices and systems perform, how they can be made to perform well and how their performance attributes may be changed.
