Course Overview

If you are passionate about computing but do not currently meet the standard entry requirements for an undergraduate degree, this four-year course offers an ideal alternative route into higher education. The programme begins with an intensive foundation year (Year 0), designed to build your confidence and core skills in cyber security, mathematics, programming, and design. This preparatory year ensures you are fully equipped for the subsequent three years of study, where you will follow the same curriculum as the standard Computing BSc (Hons) degree. Throughout the course, you will benefit from access to world-class facilities, including Cisco labs and a dedicated Cyber Security Research Centre. The institution provides a supportive learning environment with tutors who are committed to helping you recognise your strengths and succeed. Upon graduation, you will hold a full undergraduate degree, providing a strong foundation for a variety of professional roles in the IT and software development sectors.
