Master the foundations of computing and build your expertise with career specialisms

This 360-credit degree programme from the University of London blends strong foundational computing skills with emerging technology specialisms and case study material to help you apply your new skills to real-world contexts.

You’ll achieve proficiency in a range of programming languages, with a comprehensive set of coding skills that will allow you to thrive in any IT industry. Each distinct language and industry area will be the subject of a dedicated 15-credit module.

Initially, you’ll learn Javascript, completing a web application project involving client-side web languages like HTML and CSS. You’ll then progress to JS and SQL, learning how to build web server and data applications. Moving on to C++ and C#, you’ll learn about games development and physical computing, before exploring Python as a software design tool for AI and machine learning applications. Once these core skills are established, you can choose one of seven elective specialisms intended to prepare you for work in the most exciting growth areas of modern computing.

The seven specialisms are:

  • Machine learning and AI

  • Data science

  • Web and mobile development

  • Physical computing and the Internet of Things

  • Games development

  • Virtual reality

  • User experience.

Finally, you'll complete a 30-credit final project aligned with your interests. You’ll design and create a software system, documenting the project through progress logs and reports.
