Further Programming
Module G6093A
Module details for 2026/27.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 5
Module Outline
This module builds on the foundations covered in the Introduction to Programming module to introduce more complex programming concepts and techniques required in the development of Digital and Technology Solutions. The module covers advanced fundamentals of object-oriented programming, including: such as objects and classes, encapsulation, object state, coupling, cohesion and modularity. The module recaps previous coverage of basic software development issues such as class design, testing, debugging and documentation.
