BSc Information Technology

The BSc (Hons) Information Technology degree focuses on developing practical IT skills designed to solve everyday communication and system needs. It’s ideal for students with a logical mindset who enjoy problem-solving and collaborating with users and tools rather than intensive programming.

Delivered over three years with an optional placement year and a foundation year route, the programme emphasises advanced knowledge and real-world application. Students explore modules such as Business Enterprise, Rapid Application Development, Secure Computers & Networks, and Systems Design & Databases. Teaching includes lectures, workshops, labs, projects, and assessments designed to test your practical understanding.
