BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Foundation Year

The world has seen an increasing demand for Computer Science graduates, so choose a degree designed to prepare you for the real world from day one. With practical teaching from experienced lecturers and individual support from our Employability Service, you will graduate equipped to work in IT roles across a range of disciplines, including technology, business, law enforcement and public services.

On this course, we’ll teach you the fundamentals of computing and how it can be applied to the industry and wider economy, so you’ll graduate ready to contribute. You’ll gain hands-on, practical experience, obtaining the ability to design and develop software solutions for today’s big business problems.

You'll immerse yourself in the local tech community, with regular guest speakers and networking events allowing you to learn from the experts and make connections to support your future career prospects.

You won’t need any specialist equipment at home, as all the software you’ll use is cloud-based. Lab facilities at our London campus will house all the specialist equipment that you’ll need, such as high-spec computers and VR headsets.

During your time at the University you will become part of our Cisco Networking Academy, providing you access to courses and certifications (e.g. Cisco Certified Network Associate) that will allow you to develop the knowledge and hands-on skills required by industry.

You will also have the opportunity to engage with our Amazon Web Services (AWS) Academy and complete the Cloud Foundations course, which will prepare you for the AWS Cloud Practitioner certification – a key certification recognised in the IT industry.

Designed to fit around your lifestyle, the blended format allows you to watch core lectures online whenever suits you, meaning you only need to come onto campus one day per week for interactive workshops, academic coaching and support.
