IFP Computer Science & Technology

The International Foundation Programme in Computer Science & Technology is delivered on campus by Aberystwyth University and recruited globally in partnership with David Game College. The programme provides international students with a high-quality pathway into UK higher education. This programme equips students with the academic skills, subject knowledge and confidence required to progress onto a wide range of undergraduate degree programmes within the Department of Computer Science.

Students benefit from approximately 20 hours of weekly contact time, delivered through a variety of teaching methods designed to support different learning styles. Seminars, tutorials, interactive learning, pair work, group tasks, discussions and presentations are used to help students develop the communication and analytical skills essential for university-level study in the UK. Tutors value individual perspectives and encourage students to share their academic interests, allowing these to be integrated into the learning experience.
