This BSc (Hons) Computing course will take four years to complete with an integrated foundation year.

This four-year route is perfect for those who need a little extra support when entering the world of higher education. Whether it’s been a while since you last studied, or you feel you didn’t do well in previous academic study, the foundation year gives you the basics needed to go on to graduate with a full degree.
