The foundation year on this course is shared with other foundation year degrees. In this preparatory year you’ll learn a variety of skills across different subjects, including cyber security, computer networks, mathematics and programming, helping you to build an understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics.

If you find yourself more interested in a different area of mathematics or computing following your foundation year there is the option to specialise.

London Met has an advanced Cisco lab, IT security lab, electronics and microprocessor labs to facilitate your studies. The University also has connections with major companies such as Cisco, Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle and IMB to ensure you gain all the industry experience and skills to succeed in your career.

Following your foundation year, you’ll study the same course content and get the same choice of modules as those who study our Mathematics BSc (Hons) degree.

You'll graduate with a full undergraduate degree with the same title and award as those who studied the traditional three-year course.

You can get a taste for life at our School of Computing and Digital Media by taking a look at our showcase of recent student work.
