Course summary

On this challenging and highly practical Computing Foundation Entry degree, you’ll examine the application of innovative technology to solve commercial and industrial computing problems. Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree. Computing develops your technical, business and people-oriented skills, preparing you for a variety of careers. No previous computing experience is required. The course develops essential computing skills and explores a wide range of modern applications of IT. In your foundation year you’ll develop technical skills and the confidence and academic skills required for honours-level study. You’ll study modules that are common to other specialist courses. So you can opt to transfer to Business Computing, Databases, Multimedia, Software Development or Computer Networks. A Computing Foundation Entry degree can lead to a range of careers including: analysing clients' business requirements and specifying appropriate IT systems, designing and managing networks, or developing multimedia, databases or high-performance software.
