Business Computing (Extended Degree)

This extended degree offers a route into business computing for students who do not yet meet standard undergraduate entry requirements. The foundation year provides a broad grounding in computing and information science and examines how fast-moving technology is reshaping business, society and everyday life. The degree then moves into the core concepts of computer science, including programming, data and artificial intelligence. In the second year, learners take on more demanding material through advanced programming, algorithms and a live consultancy project that connects classroom work to real organisations. Graduates leave able to design and evaluate software systems in commercial settings, with knowledge that carries directly into careers in computing and business technology. Learners come away able to reason about technology in organisational settings.
