Course Overview
Many of our most successful graduates began with a Foundation Year. Whether you're switching subjects, returning to education, or didn’t quite get the qualifications you hoped for, this pathway is designed to help you build the skills, confidence, and academic grounding to thrive in Computer Science.
You’ll be taught by the same expert staff who deliver our full degree programmes, developers, researchers and innovators who are as passionate about computer science as they are about helping you succeed. From one-to-one support and hands-on practical projects, you’ll gain the confidence to tackle real-world problems and feel prepared for the rest of your degree.
You’ll study in modern labs, collaborate with newfound friends, and start building a portfolio to impress from day one.
