Overview

Delve into the essentials of computer science with this 8-month conversion course that will allow you to break into sought-after jobs within this field.

Studying online and part-time allows you to develop your technical skills while keeping up with your work and family commitments. You will explore key topics such as:

  • fundamental theories and principles of computing and key trends in the field
  • how to contextualise and develop information systems using object-oriented approaches in languages such as Python and SQL
  • computer networks, network security fundamentals and information security governance principles

Throughout the course you will develop a number of programs and applications, and the technical skills you will gain will be an asset in whichever area of computer science you go on to work in. At the end of your course, there will be the opportunity to progress onto a PG Dip or the full Masters.
