Students who wish to finish their studies at the end of the first or second year will be eligible for a Certificate or Diploma of Higher Education in Computing with Business. We realise that the traditional lecture is not always the most interesting way to present material. We pride ourselves in our range of teaching and learning methods which are used on all our courses. Student centred learning is emphasised which allows students to have some share of the responsibility for their own learning. In order that students are well prepared for the work environment we use realistic environments for student work involving case studies, group work and mini projects.
Assessments are also varied in order to match the skills being assessed.
This may include traditional or new styles of exams, coursework, project reports, presentations, peer and self assessment. Our graduates have always been in demand with industry recognising the relevance of our course structures and the wide range of skills that our students have developed. Successful students may also qualify for exemption from the examination requirements for membership of the British Computer Society. For the major component in Computing the foundations of computing and other skills are introduced in levels one and two with all students essentially studying the same programme. There is a wide element of choice in the final year.
