This course is based at our Stamford campus and suitable for those who wish to further develop their careers in the IT industry. Work based learning elements are key throughout your studies on the foundation degree and, therefore, it is ideal for either full-time or part-time study alongside an existing IT position. The foundation degree was created by consulting with local employers such as BGL Group (Compare the Market) to ensure the course meets their needs and ensures graduates have the skills required for industry. Computing is changing our world by the way we work and the way we live. To study computer science is to put you at the forefront not just of technological change, but of social change too. This course studies the principles and technologies underpinning the systems that are driving this change. You will study a number of modules designed to promote your professional growth and personal development whilst providing an opportunity to build upon these directly through a combination of work- based learning projects and traditional classroom based study. During your studies you will be encouraged to acquire key practical skills to help you build specialist knowledge within computing.
