NORTHUMBRIA UNIVERSITY
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME SPECIFICATION
Students are supported by
 Induction Programme
 Student Handbook detailing programme structure, assessment schedule, regulations, advice re study skills and time management, available
support, module descriptor information.
 Direct access to all staff by e-mail.
 Direct academic support in seminars/computer lab sessions.
 Student Support Team – a team based in the administrative office who act as a first point of contact for student queries and issues.
 Student Representatives (one for each seminar group chosen by the students themselves) who represents their views and concerns at StaffStudent Liaison Committee and Programme Committee meetings.
 Year Tutors and Programme Leaders, responsible for managing and looking after the wellbeing of the year group/programme.
The induction programme consists of:
Level 4: given details of programme structure, assessment, student support, information services (library, Internet, e-mail); advice re study and
time management, familiarisation with laboratory hardware and software.
Level 5: details of programme/assessment and the assessment schedule. In addition, students joining at level 5 receive details of student support,
information services (library, Internet, e-mail); advice re study and time management, familiarisation with laboratory hardware and
software.
Level 6: details of programme/assessment, advice on projects, option choice, and careers guidance.
The design of this degree expressly supports the employability of its graduates: the choice of skill and knowledge areas, tools, techniques and methods
has been made to ensure students are immediately useful to employers. Industry practice and subject benchmarking have strongly influenced the design,
and the programme content will evolve in line with developments in the industry and in the subject as an academic discipline.
Key transferable skills are developed throughout the programme. Through formative and summative coursework, students will develop and apply
computational, communication and team-working skills. The ability to work effectively as an individual, both as a student and as a practitioner, is a critical
skill developed throughout the programme. Learning independently, managing oneself and others on project tasks, evaluating and reflecting upon
practitioner experience are all essential skills of the computing professional. The taught modules help to develop these and provide students with
opportunities to contribute towards their personal development planning.
Students undertake activities in second year module Professional Development & Project Management (CM0558) which prepare them for professional
employment.
Students on this programme are additionally supported by regular franchise coordination visits by Northumbria teaching staff. Such visits include
meetings with students and additional support for the individual project.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy Specified to enable learners to achieve and demonstrate the above learning outcomes.
The programme aims to provide students with a wide range of learning opportunities in an exciting, challenging, stimulating and dynamic quality learning
environment. The programme learning outcomes are aligned with module learning outcomes (see section 18) and the learning methods applied to address
the module learning outcomes are specified in module descriptors. Students have a variety of learning opportunities including lectures, seminars, tutorials,
practicals, research, case studies, online using Blackboard, guest / expert input and task based learning in guided and independent study modes. The
variety includes methods for individual as well as group learning. Students will be encouraged to develop independent learning skills and techniques in
level 4 and these will be used increasingly in levels 5 and 6. At level 5 this is developed particularly by the Professional Development & Project
Management(CM0558) module. Further analysis will take place at while undertaking the work placement and at level 6 in the Case Project CM0656.
At levels 5 and 6 students are increasingly expected to incorporate critical analysis and critical evaluation into their learning. Students will be supported in
developing these skills throughout the programme. The development of transferable skills permeates the whole of the programme, particularly with regard
to communication and presentation of the results of study. The subject of Computing is continuously developing, evolving and changing and as a result
students will be expected to keep up to date with developments through independent research.
The assessment methods used in the programme aim to reflect the wide range of teaching and learning practices, and diversity of subject matter across
the discipline of Computing. Assessments are designed to align with the module learning outcomes and assess the learning outcomes of each module in
the most appropriate way whilst ensuring a full-range of assessment methods across the programme.
Whilst learning and the measurement of learning will be linked closely to assessment, it is hoped that the learning environment and learning opportunities
presented to students will encourage students to be motivated to learn for educational reasons, and not simply to pass summative assessments. The aim
is to avoid surface learning and focus on the need for learning opportunities that elicit a deeper more reflective learning response from students.
Formative assessment and feedback is incorporated into modules wherever appropriate and students are encouraged to participate in formative activities
through linking those activities to PDP and using the formative activities to develop the skills, techniques and expectations of summative assessment.
Summative assessment methods include exams, technical reports, case study analyses, presentations, portfolio and project work.

Mapping of Learning Outcomes
This section shows how the individual modules (with module learning outcomes as written in the module descriptor) together contribute to programme
learning outcomes. It should be presented as a matrix of programme learning outcomes (as identified numerically in section 13), against modules.
Where a module contributes to a programme learning outcome it should be flagged. Standard practice will be for a single symbol to indicate a learning
outcome addressed in the module. See guidance notes for discussion of alternative practices.
The following matrix is for a programme structure with 6 learning outcomes in each of the categories of section 13, with rows for 6 modules at level 4,
and core modules at levels 5 and 6. See guidance notes for a discussion of the treatment of option modules. The matrix should be extended as
required. The matrix will show how some learning outcomes are developed at particular stages in the programme, while others may be developed
through the three levels.
