Computing & Informatics

Why choose us?

With a range of eight courses available, we offer you the chance to specialise in a wide variety of different areas of computing and informatics. Our courses are assigned to three different pathways: Computing, Data Analytics and Cyber Security. Students in the same pathway will have a common first year, which allows them to have a solid understanding of the subject before committing themselves to specialising. Students in different pathways will have different curriculums to offer them a more focused and subject-specific learning experience. All courses are offered with a foundation year option, providing an alternative route to access studying a full degree.

We offer a student-centred learning environment. All our courses are technical in nature, and you will learn how to apply hands-on skills to solve problems, with an emphasis on intellectual achievement and employability. Our findings from research and our industry expertise is incorporated into our teaching, which is supported by dedicated networking and development labs and a state-ofthe-art cyber security facility.

All of our courses include a 30-week minimum placement, giving you the opportunity to work in some of the best-known and most prestigious companies in the sector. Our placement students have worked for organisations such as Microsoft, Kingfisher, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Goldman Sachs, and General spend a semester working on a or industrybased project. These opportunities are part of the reason why 100% of our graduates are in work or further study within fifteen months of finishing their course (Graduate Outcomes Survey, 2019/20).
