BSc Computer Science with Foundation Year
Course overview
The BSc Computer Science with Foundation Year is a four-year undergraduate programme designed to get students ready for a career in the technology industry. The first year is a foundation year, perfect if students don't have the typical entry grades or are returning to education; by building their academic skills and confidence. Students then progress to a curriculum that combines theory with hands-on practice, which has been developed with leading tech companies. This ensures students learn the most relevant skills, with the opportunity to specialise in areas like artificial intelligence, cyber security, and software engineering.
The teaching and assessment approach is built on collaboration and real-world projects. Students will complete assignments given by employers, and their progress will be measured through a variety of professional tasks, including written reports, presentations, and a portfolio of their work. The goal is to equip students with the technical and professional skills they need to succeed, so they graduate with a strong body of work and valuable industry connections.
