This online BSc (Hons) Computer Science course centres on programming, mathematics, statistics and algorithms. It extends into sub-domains such as cyber security and artificial intelligence, and suits people changing career, building new skills or updating their knowledge. The course is delivered part-time by Kaplan Higher Education UK and awarded by the University of Essex. Early modules cover research practice and foundational statistics. Students explore future trends such as intelligent applications and AI-augmented development, and they build research, problem-solving and teamwork skills. Software engineering is a core element of the degree. The course suits learners who want to understand how computing systems are designed and built. Students who wish to specialise can progress onto one of the university's postgraduate computing courses, and they will graduate with a recognised undergraduate degree.
