BSc Computing (Top-up)

Course Information

Modern society relies heavily on computers, to automate processes and to perform repetitive tasks in reliable and repeatable ways. As a result the modern workplace increasingly incorporates computational technology and requires employees to have good, or better, computing skills. Computing degrees give the student the skills that they need to practically apply computing technology in a wide range of contexts. More generally, a computing degree enables the graduate to solve problems using computers.

This computing degree combines key systems analysis and design skills from software engineering with applied programming skills which are contextualised by important applied topics like Artificial Intelligence or the technologies of the Web.

This computing course enables you to ‘top-up’ your existing qualifications to the internationally recognised ‘Bachelors degree’ classification if you have an HND or an undergraduate level certificate, diploma or equivalent, in computing or a closely related field.

You will gain understanding of computing tools, techniques and practises across a range of application areas. The course will allow you to develop a critical understanding of the analysis, design, development, testing, and evaluation of computing systems. In the modern world, regardless of the career path that you take, some aspect of computing is increasingly likely to play a role in your work. A degree in this area gives you a foundation for exploiting this trend.
