    Course Summary

    The University of Buckingham’s BSc in Computing gives you the skills you need to take your place in any number of national or international industries. Companies and organisations of all kinds rely on computer scientists and engineers to solve the hardware, software and communications challenges that could make or break their businesses. You could rise to the top of the field by creating, maintaining and adapting the infrastructure that tomorrow’s world will take for granted.

    This is an intensive, accelerated degree program. Most universities only offer BSc degrees as 3 or 4 year programs, whilst Buckingham makes it possible to earn a fully accredited, well-respected BSc degree in Computing in just two years. As these degrees make excellent first steps towards a Master’s program (at the University of Buckingham or elsewhere), you could earn your MSc in less time than some students take to earn a Bachelor’s degree!
