Course summary

Develop the creative, technical and soft skills you need to thrive in your career with an accredited Computer Science degree from LTU.

We've designed the course in partnership with leading tech employers such as Sky and Infinity Works who want to hire graduates with a blend of technical and transferable skills.

You'll design and develop apps to solve real-world problems and work closely with tech companies throughout your degree.

This four-year course includes an initial full-time Foundation Year and offers an alternative route into university and gaining a degree.

This route is for you if you do not have the necessary qualifications or don’t yet feel ready to begin degree-level study, or are returning to education and would like some support to get up to speed with learning in a university setting.

The Foundation Year in Computing will allow you to develop your academic skills and confidence as well as introduce you to key concepts, debates and skills that will support and inform your subsequent years of undergraduate study.

Following successful completion of your Foundation Year, you’ll progress onto Year 1 of our Computer Science BSc (Hons) degree.
