Do you have a passion for computing? Are you fascinated by modern technologies?
The BSc (Hons) Computer Science programme focuses on the technical aspects of computing, placing a strong emphasis on programming skills. This will help you to attain the vital technical knowledge required to pursue a range of IT careers, as well as the transferable employability skills needed to secure your first role.
This hands-on degree programme will encourage you to develop an extensive knowledge of computer programming, where you will have the opportunity to complete the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) “Introduction to Networks” course and develop your skills by designing, building and implementing computer systems, culminating in a major final-year software development project.
The UK’s IT industry is worth £58 billion annually. With projections suggesting the UK has the potential to create a further three million new technology jobs by 2025 (techuk.org), the demand for well-qualified information technology graduates is set to remain strong.
