If you want to start your career with a year's work experience in hand, then you should consider this course. It combines the rigorous studies of the BSc (Hons) Computer Science with a year of work placement in level 4. This means 12 months of experience working in an organisation in the computing sector by the time you finish your degree. The Diploma in Industrial Training is gained through successful completion of the work placement. The work placement helps you to develop specific work-related skills, giving you the opportunity to build upon the theory you've learned and have real-world experience. This course aims to give a well-integrated balance of theoretical underpinnings and practical experience, strongly informed by the research expertise of our academic staff.
Computer Science provides you with a comprehensive foundation to understand, design and implement cutting-edge computer software and systems.
