About this course

BSc (Hons) Computing, awarded by the University of Gloucestershire, and regulated by the Office for Students.

This BSc (Hons) Computing Level 6 top-up degree programme is a fantastic opportunity for candidates with a Level 5 qualification to top up to a Bachelor’s Degree. The BSc (Hons) Computing degree opens doors to lucrative job opportunities within the IT Industry; employers across the UK have desperate need for degree-level qualified IT practitioners to deliver in jobs that require high intellectual skills and innovative thinking.

This programme is designed to equip learners with the knowledge, high-level cognitive skills, and familiarity with tools & techniques that will empower them to become highly productive and competitive in the job market. You will develop the ability to apply creative and innovative thinking for implementing logical solutions to problem scenarios within and outside digital domains.

Yeovil College University Centre is one of the few Institute of Technology (IoT) institutions in the UK, and as a result of this the Computing department boasts a range of modernised IT infrastructure, including updated classroom equipment, high-spec gaming room and a modernised IT lab / workshop that is equipped with servers, storage area network, and virtualised environment for students’ lab activities.

This course is available on a full-time basis, and is taught in-person at our Yeovil College campus. The full-time course is studied over 1 academic year, and students are typically timetabled for two days per week.

This course is designed to allow those who already hold a relevant Level 5 qualification, such as a Foundation Degree or HND in Computing, to 'top-up' to BSc (Hons) level. If you're looking at starting your university-level journey in Computing, you would need to look at studying another qualification first. At Yeovil College University Centre, we offer the HND Computing for England course; successfully completing this would allow you to then apply to ‘top-up’ to a full BSc (Hons) qualification.
