COURSE DESCRIPTION

Would you like a challenging career working within the computing industry?

Computers and the internet are an integral part of everyday life and business. There is a growing demand for skilled programmers and developers to create the software applications that we all rely on. This course prepares you to become one of those specialists, and allows you to fulfil a number of roles in this varied sector.

This course is suitable if you have studied at Level 3 or equivalent (not necessarily in Computing) and would like to progress into such careers as programming, web development and application development.

The course gives a firm understanding of a wide range of computing skills such as programming, graphics, databases, web development, mobile technologies and project management.

As well as these specialist computing skills, you will also develop vital employability skills such as team-working, self-management, business awareness and problem solving which are vital in today’s fast-moving environment.

Throughout the course you will benefit from an outstanding learning environment, with state-of-the-art technology, open access computer facilities and excellent tutor support.

ASSESSMENT

The course is assessed through a blend of the following:

• Practical and theoretical assignments
• Time-constrained assessments
• Reports
• Oral presentations
• Project work
• Portfolios
• Work-based assessment
• Group/team-based assignments
• Log books and reflective work

PROGRESSION

Our Computing graduates have progressed onto employment in a wide range of organisations. Others have started their own businesses particularly in the areas of application development and web development.

There is also the option of continuing your studies up to BSc Honours. This can be done full-time or part-time to combine work and study.
