Foundation Degree Digital Technologies

This Foundation Degree prepares learners for careers in digital and computing, with two specialist pathways in networking and software development. Study is offered in a full-time form over two years or a part-time form over four years, which suits people balancing learning with jobs or other commitments. Learners can focus their studies around personal interests and career goals. Level 4 core modules build computing foundations, from programming and operating systems to networking, cyber security and data science, ending in a scenario-based project. The second year, at Level 5, adds cloud systems, emerging technology and an individual project, with pathway options in web development and object-oriented programming, or in network infrastructure, network security and network administration. Graduates can move into junior software roles, web development or network administration, or top up to a bachelor degree. Networking learners can look at roles such as network engineer, while software development learners can explore junior testing and data positions.
