We recognize that there are many routes to success at the degree level. Our Computing and Mathematics Foundation Year specifically caters to those who lack the traditional entry qualifications to join the first year of a science degree. You are likely to be someone with either non-computing/maths-based qualifications, someone who has tried computing/maths-based subjects but has yet to realize their potential or you are a mature student, with skills and experience from employment, who wants to return to education.
The foundation year has the benefit of being part of the extended degree and gives you access to a range of activities and staff on the degree program that you will continue your studies with.
The foundation year in computing is taught at the University and you'll have access to all its facilities.
You'll develop practical, technical, and communication skills, and apply knowledge to real-life problems.
Modules reflect the degree subject you choose but will include one of the following:
- Computing
In addition, you'll take the following two modules:
