**Course overview**: This course includes an integrated foundation year, ideal if you don’t have the appropriate subjects and/or grades to go straight into year one. Information technology (IT) is an integral part of our lives. Working with IT involves finding technological solutions to everyday communication needs - if you have a logical mind, enjoy problem solving and prefer working with people and packages (rather than programming) then the IT sector could be an ideal career for you. The skills developed on this degree are highly sought after by employers and will build a strong foundation for working in industry. You explore the complex body of knowledge relating to computer science at the current boundaries of research and development. You develop skills in project management, problem solving, rapid systems development, using specialist tools, working closely with users, and professional ethics and legal issues within IT. Successful students will merit relevant exemption from British Computer Society (BCS) professional examinations. **After the course**: The combination of academic study and intensive practical work will prepare you for a variety of specialist roles in user support, systems analysis and systems development. Selected option paths could also lead to careers in network support or web design.
