Computer Science covers a wide range of skills needed to work in this ever changing and growing market. Software development is a driving force behind the games industry and application development, both of which have seen a dramatic increase over the last decade. As the world evolves, creating a demand for connected services, voice activated devices, internet enabled technology in networking, security and big data are becoming high demand skills. Job demand across the digital sector is expected to grow over the next 5 years seeing over 1 million new UK jobs by 2020. The college is excellently positioned to prepare graduates for these positions. We are currently the first college in the UK to gain accreditation for our Honours degrees by the British Computer Society, in addition to Tech Partnership accreditation for our degree apprenticeships.
