Course summary

Widen your knowledge in computing and gain a broad understanding of the subject area before moving on to a specialist computing-related undergraduate degree..This one-year computing foundation course is the ideal way to learn essential programming, web design, networking, and security skills before starting a specialist three-year undergraduate degree. On completion of the foundation year, you’ll be able to join the first year of a course within the computing area.



You’ll get to grips with the basics of computer programming by taking part in creative and fun practical projects. These will be carried out under the guidance of a teaching team with a wide portfolio of experience and skills.
