Course programme
BSc Computing
Full-Time Degree
Information and communications technologies (ICT) lie at the heart of modern society. They include hardware, software, networks, tools, telecommunications equipment and required standards that provide the technological framework on which the delivery of information services is based.
The ability to specify, design, develop and operate efficient and innovative computer-based systems requires up-to-date knowledge of these technologies at an advanced level.
The BSc in Computing builds on the Department's strengths. We currently have research programmes funded by the European Commission in biometric research (facial recognition) and broadband network access using wireless techniques. Other staff interests that feature in the undergraduate programme include: data mining and its use in e-commerce and e-business, image processing applications, and cryptography and authentication.
Requirements:
What academic qualifications do I need?
You must satisfy the examination requirements set by the University of Buckingham. The qualifications listed below refer to the UK A-level system. International qualifications are evaluated according to the British Council NARIC guide. Mature candidates will be considered, in part, on the basis of their work experience.
- 3 grade Cs at A2 level (240 UCAS points) or equivalent.
- Minimum of 5 subjects, including mathematics at grade C or above at GCSE, or equivalent.
If your academic qualifications currently fall below our minimum requirement, you could consider joining us for the 9- or 12-month International Foundation Programme.
What if English isn't my first language?
Applicants whose first language is not English must provide evidence of proficiency in English. An equivalent to an overall score of 6.0 in IELTS is the minimum requirement.
If your English level is currently below our minimum requirement (but your academic qualifications are of the standard required), you could consider joining us on an EAP (English for Academic Purposes) programme before starting your degree.
Mature Students
Entry requirements for mature students can be very flexible. Strong motivation, linked to life experience, can be a key factor in your ability to complete a course successfully. You may not, therefore, always be expected to meet standard course requirements. We like to interview mature applicants wherever possible.
Is there anything else which might help my application?
There are also other details we take into account when considering your application.
- Your work experience / voluntary work or part-time work is important especially if it shows that you are gaining valuable experience in a business or financial environment.
- If you are a mature student, your current and previous work will be considered.
- If you have had the opportunity to attend evening classes in your chosen subject area or to study it via distance learning, these may be useful in strengthening your application.
- Although interviews are not essential, we strongly recommend you to visit the campus at Buckingham and meet our Admissions Tutors whenever possible.
