Course Details
BSc (Hons) Computer Science
UCAS code: I100
On this course, we’ll teach you the fundamentals of computing and how it can be applied to the industry and wider economy, so you’ll graduate ready to contribute. You’ll gain hands-on, practical experience, obtaining the ability to design and develop software solutions for today’s big business problems.
You'll immerse yourself in the local tech community, with regular guest speakers and networking events allowing you to learn from the experts and make connections to support your future career prospects.
You won’t need any specialist equipment at home, as all the software you’ll use is cloud-based. Lab facilities at our London campus will house all the specialist equipment that you’ll need, such as high-spec computers and VR headsets.
Foundation Year
UCAS code: I101
You can choose to take an additional Foundation Year before you start your BSc Computer Science. This introductory year focuses on developing the key skills required to study at degree level and covers the same six modules as on our other undergraduate degrees. The modules covered will initially enhance your communications skills, digital and information literacy and ability to think critically. You then have the added flexibility of switching your degree programme if another discipline captures your interest, subject to availability and entry requirements.
Entry requirements for the Foundation Year are different from our three-year degrees. For full details, check our Entry Requirements page.
