    Glasgow Caledonian University

    Glasgow Caledonian University was founded in 1875, as The Queen’s College, Glasgow. Nearly 100 years later, in 1971, Glasgow Polytechnic was formed.

    Course Summary

    Glasgow Caledonian University’s BSc in Computing has been created in consultation with local and national industry leaders in order to produce the kind of graduates that the IT and computing industries demand in ever higher numbers.

     

    You’ll learn the foundations of computing and IT in years 1 and 2, allowing you to choose a specialisation to study in years 3 and 4. Those students who already have training or experience in the field may consider entering the program at year 2 or 3.

     

    This course also conveys a wide range of ‘general employability’ skills which will make you more competitive as a job applicant. These include leadership skills, problem solving, team work, communication and the option of paid work placement or overseas study later in the program.

     

    You should seriously consider placement or study abroad, as either will give you greater insight into this exciting, globally relevant field as well as a substantial advantage over Computing graduates without such experience.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
