About this course

Course structure Our Computing degree course structure is very flexible. It has been designed to provide: fundamental principles underpinning computing understanding of the engineering considerations involved in computing system design, implementation and usage a solid background in discrete mathematics (logic, sets, relations and grammars), which is the basic mathematics of computing sound understanding of the classical mathematics and statistics relevant to applications in engineering and management an...

This degree is professionally accredited by IET (the Institution of Engineering and Technology) and BCS (the Charted Institute for IT). All of our degrees also lead to the award of the Associateship of the City and Guilds of London Institute (ACGI).
