Alternative entry routes  

If this course interests you, but you don’t have the entry requirements to join our bachelor’s degree you could consider:  

• Computing Skills for the Workplace Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE) 

• ‘with Foundation Year’. This route is designed to give you extra support as it provides you with an additional year (full-time) of supported study.   

Once you successfully complete your Foundation Year studies, you will automatically advance onto the main degree.   

• Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE). This is a one-year course and is equivalent to the first year of the three year, full-time bachelor’s degree. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

 Once you have successfully completed your CertHE studies, you will be eligible to progress for the remaining two years of the bachelor’s degree. &²Ô²ú²õ±è;

These are ideal routes if you are returning to study after a gap, or if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this degree.

Students are assessed through a combination of worksheets, practicals, presentations, projects and examinations.  Module assessment is often by assignment, or assignment and examination. The final mark for some modules may include one or more pieces of coursework set and completed during the module. Project work is assessed by written report and presentation.

There will be no mandatory additional costs to study beyond the payment of tuition. 

Students should be prepared to incur the basic costs associated with study such as transport and may wish to purchase coffees, snacks or other sundry items on campus.

Many students also choose to invest in study support tools such as laptops over the course of their study, though this is not a programme requirement. Any activities related to study or student life which bear a cost beyond tuition will be optional, and the expense shall be clearly communicated to students at the time of registration.
