Overview
Set yourself up for a career in the computing industries with this foundation degree. You'll pick up the foundations of web development, network and database design, and programming for apps. You'll then dig into the advanced skills and knowledge in subjects that interest you, such as cyber security, business connectivity or social media.
You'll turn your curiosity about computers into the skills employers in the IT sector are looking for, and learn how to apply your skills to meeting society's needs through technological solutions.
When you finish the course, you'll be two thirds of the way to a full Honours degree, and you'll have the opportunity to do some further study with us and convert your degree into our BSc (Hons) Computing.
Careers and opportunities
This course is shaped around current information technology practice, meaning it can improve your computing career prospects. You'll also have the option to top up to a Bachelor's degree after you graduate.
You'll undertake work-related learning as part of your study, and learn the theory and practice used in web and mobile development, system design and analysis, or commercial system development.
