The University of Buckingham believes in a high-quality education delivered with passion and focuses on passing valuable and relevant knowledge. One of the ways this is proven is through their Computing Degrees.
Students are equipped with the knowledge and practical skills required to design and develop advanced tech-based solutions to complex information. This knowledge and skills also help them to face real problems faced by businesses, the community, and global industries.
Buckingham offers a foundation degree, two-year undergraduate degrees, and master’s programs that equip students with the skills and competencies needed to design and develop data-driven computing solutions. Here is a full description of the courses :
FOUNDATION PROGRAM
This program is a pre-university access program specially designed for Applied Computing. The overall aim is to equip students who have not achieved the minimum entry requirements for BSc (Hons) Computing with the fundamental knowledge and essential skills required for the intensive study of the BSc in Computing at Buckingham.
The 12-week program consists of three modules in mathematics, fundamentals of computing, and web computing. Students must pass all modules before being allowed on to the BSc degree program.
Successful students will be awarded a Certificate of Preliminary Studies for Computing. Applicants are also expected to have achieved a Grade C / Grade 4, or above, in GCSE Maths and English. At the end of the program, students will:
- understand the roles that computers systems now play in the modern world.
- understand the fundamental concepts of computing.
- possess knowledge in essential mathematics that is crucial for the study of a BSc computing program.
- understand basic concepts of the World Wide Web and skills in designing useful documents on the Web.
- have awareness of and familiarity with the University study environment
