分布式系统涉及多台计算机，这些计算机处理数据并将结果相互传递，例如在电子银行或在线游戏中，用户在地理位置上是分开的。您将学习设计，构建和集成高级网络计算机系统。应用程序包括移动和无线通信，金融和卫生部门以及涉及多个业务和外包的关键业务企业应用程序等领域。在头两年（阶段1和2）中，所有计算机科学专业的学生都会获得相同的计算机科学概论，让您有时间了解自己的兴趣所在，然后再攻读学位。请参阅第96页上的内容。在第3阶段中，您将研究分布式系统，移动计算机系统开发，Internet技术以及系统和网络技术方面的专业主题
Distributed systems involves multiple computers processing data and communicating the results to each other, such as in electronic banking or online gaming, where the users are geographically separated. You learn to design, build and integrate advanced networked computer systems. Applications include areas such as mobile and wireless communications, the financial and health sectors, and business-critical enterprise applications involving multiple businesses and outsourcing. All Computer Science students receive the same general introduction to computer science for the first two years (Stages 1 and 2), giving you time to see where your interests lie before you specialise later in your degree. See What You Will Study, page 96. In Stage 3, you study specialist topics in distributed systems, mobile computer systems development, internet technology, and system and network technology. You also study a range of optional modules.
