BSc Business Computer Systems Top Up

The BSc Business Computer Systems (Top-Up) at London Metropolitan University offers students a fast route to a full BSc degree if they already have an HND or a foundation year in computing or a similar subject. Lectures and seminars are mixed with hands-on work done through the university’s own agency, giving students real practical experience. In its well-equipped labs, some of the most advanced Cisco labs in London, students learn everything from e-commerce and database management to ethical and legal issues in computing.

Teaching staff with strong industry connections update the course each year so students stay current. This top-up course covers the final year of a full degree and is ideal for students who want to complete their qualification in London. Students build on prior studies in computing or IT and enter directly into the final year, gaining vital knowledge in application development, data and web development, project work, and professional career development.

Learning takes place through a combination of lectures, seminars, and hands-on work, guided by skilled lecturers with industry experience. Students use modern labs, including Cisco networks, to practice building and managing computer systems. Assessment includes online and written assignments, presentations, group projects, and a final project that demonstrates practical and theoretical skills.
