BSc Computing
Course overview
University of Buckingham BSc Computing is a three-year, full-time undergraduate programme that leads to a Bachelor of Science (Hons). The course aims to equip students with the skills to design, build, and manage computer-based systems, covering hardware, software, networks, and the broader technologies that underpin modern information services.
Students study core modules, including Cloud Computing, Software Project Management, Web Application Development, Software Quality Assurance, and a major individual project in which they specify, develop, and test a substantial piece of software, often using languages such as C# and C++.
Students learn through coursework, practical work, and a major individual project, providing opportunities to apply theory to real-world problems. Through this intensive programme, students learn to tackle computational problems, develop efficient and innovative solutions, and gain up-to-date knowledge of computing technologies, preparing them either for direct careers in IT or for further academic work in computing or computer science at Buckingham or other universities.
