Program details

Overview

The HND in Computing is designed for learners who want to deepen their understanding of computing principles and apply them in varied contexts. Students can choose a specialist pathway in areas such as software engineering, data analytics, network engineering and cybersecurity, or take a broader general route without committing to one specialism. The course develops strong problem-solving abilities alongside technical knowledge, so learners can respond to real problems with confidence. It suits anyone aiming for a relevant occupational role or for degree-level study after the diploma. Graduates leave ready to contribute in technical roles or to continue into university study, building on the computing principles covered throughout the course.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Entry requires A Levels or a Level 3 BTEC National Diploma/GNVQ Advanced, or relevant work experience in a responsible IT role, plus GCSEs in English and Maths at grade C/4 or above (equivalent qualifications or work experience considered).

Application Details

Start Date: 2027-01-12
