Program details

Overview

HNC Computing NextGen offers a broad route into computing and digital technology for learners who have not yet chosen a specialism. Students sample a range of subjects before moving into an area such as cyber security, data science, networking, software or web development. The first year lets learners test different areas before committing to one. Entry is at the centre's discretion, and applicants are interviewed, with an academic reference sometimes requested. The HNC supports progression into further study or employment in the digital sector, with specialisms chosen once learners know where their interests lie.
