Computers are ingrained into our society, and we now rely on them to complete a wealth of everyday tasks. The range of industries seeking qualified and skilled computing graduates is vast, and job roles can vary, including systems administrators, front-end programmers, information systems analysts, and full-stack developers. Our integrated foundation degrees are for those of you who possess the capability to pursue a degree but do not have the pre-requisite qualifications to directly apply to your desired course.

The duration of the foundation element is one year, and, if you successfully pass, you will automatically progress on to the degree. Our course is designed to help you develop your skills to enable you to embark on an interesting and rewarding career, potentially increasing your earning potential, and the ability to shape your own path in the ever-evolving landscape of computing. Our Computing degree is one of our most flexible programmes of study.

You’ll learn how to design and build software that is both robust and reliable, as well as attractive to use. You’ll benefit from a strong foundation of knowledge in all aspects of computing and enjoy flexibility via the chance to select optional modules in the topics that interest you most.
