BSc Computing including foundation year

The BSc Computing with foundation year at London Metropolitan University is accredited by the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. The foundation year is perfect for students who may not have the entry requirements for a main computing degree. This programme teaches students the basic knowledge in subjects such as cybersecurity, mathematics, and programming.

This foundation year gives students a head start for the three years of the main degree, where they will study the standard Computing BSc (Hons) degree.
