Course programme

100% of Foundation Degree in Computing graduates were in employment or further study six months after completing their studies. DLHE 2013-14 Our Foundation Degree in Computing is an excellent route into studying computing at university level. Our course is distinctive due to the involvement of employers in the IT sector. An industrial placement for approximately 10 weeks and work-based learning are at the heart of this course and this feature is incorporated into the development, delivery and assessment of our course. A placement is likely to increase your employability prospects and help you to focus on your area of interest. This course aims to provide you with an up-to-date, relevant Higher Education qualification in computing in association with IT placement providers. You will develop skills, understanding and knowledge of computing that are underpinned by rigorous and broad-based academic learning incorporating key skills. You will develop knowledge and an understanding of the organisation of computer systems in terms of hardware, software and data processing and there are continual forms of assessments and small group workshops. Our student Steven Dodds won a prestigious British Computer Society scholarship award worth £25,000 in 2015. Steven has secured a PGCE place which will enable him to pursue his dream of becoming a computer teacher without fear of financial burden, thanks to the generous scholarship. Steven said: “I would like to give my gratitude to computing staff who both provided me with confidence to go ahead with the decision to pursue teaching career as well as glowing references.”
