Program details

Overview

This three-year honours degree prepares students for graduate-level roles by teaching them to solve complex computing problems. Learners create websites, structure databases and plan software projects, with artificial intelligence woven into the curriculum, and finish with a major project proposal and implementation. Study takes place at the University Centre in a dedicated cyber suite, with small classes and accessible resources. The award is validated by Lancaster University, and the timetable is designed so students can fit study around existing commitments. Applicants need a GCSE in English and maths. Those without traditional qualifications but with relevant work or life experience may be invited to interview. Non-native English speakers must show they can study in English. The course is taught full time at the University Centre, and entry needs a minimum number of UCAS Tariff points.
