GCU Pathways

As a pathways student, you'll enrol on the undergraduate BSc (Hons) Computing (GCU Pathways) at Glasgow Caledonian University. In the first two years, you'll study HND Computing: Software Development at Glasgow Clyde College while preparing for years three and four of the degree.

If you want to study computing but haven't decided on a specific area of interest, this course lets you personalise your studies and prepares you for a range of graduate roles.

In years three and four, you'll further develop expertise in core areas while being able to choose elective modules which allow you to specialise in your chosen area of interest. Possible specialisations include mobile development, cloud systems development, secure software development, user experience development, advanced project management and Big Data.

You'll also have the possibility of undertaking an industry placement or studying abroad through exchanges with this course. You'll be encouraged to take part in activities with the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). Our computing programmes are accredited by the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS).
