Course summary

Set yourself up for a career in the computing industries with this foundation degree. You'll pick up the foundations of web development, network and database design, and programming for apps. You'll then dig into the advanced skills and knowledge in subjects that interest you, such as cyber security, business connectivity or social media.

You'll turn your curiosity about computers into the skills employers in the IT sector are looking for, and learn how to apply your skills to meeting society's needs through technological solutions.
