Warwickshire's Computing Foundation Degrees are unique; at the centre of our student's learning is employability and the understanding of how the computer industry functions and thrives. This Computing Foundation degree offers students the chance to immerse themselves in practical aspects and academic study of online technology. Commercial work based learning and placements are an integral feature of our FdSc Computing programme, as is developing understanding of how key aspects of business are related to computing and are integral to management and business operations. Students will be introduced to the professional standards of corporate business and the computer industry, and be exposed to entrepreneurial concepts that will enable them to see opportunities for creating businesses or engage in a rewarding career.

Warwickshire College was granted Foundation degree awarding powers by her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council in September 2014 reflecting the very high confidence placed in us by independent higher education assessors after a year-long detailed scrutiny. This is one of the first of our new awards following a formal course approval in 2015. The highly experienced teams at Leamington and Rugby have been delivering Foundation degrees, awarded by partner universities, since 2007 and have had the pleasure of seeing many graduates progress to a wide range of jobs, higher degrees and other successful positions.
