    University of Derby

    The University of Derby has a long history, going back to 1853 and the founding of the Derby School of Art. This became the Derby Central School of Art and the Derby Central School of Science in 1870. By 1892 the combined institution was known as the Derby Municipal Technical College.

    Course Summary

    The University of Derby’s BSc degree program in Computer Science is a great way to get to know Computer Science inside and out, and especially from a commercial or industrial perspective. This program is heavily oriented on student employability, helping you to forge a successful career in a very exciting field.

    You’ll work on industry standard hardware and software systems, learning applied computer science, advanced computer programming skills and the ins and outs of software development on a commercial scale.

    This program includes the option of taking an extra year (typically between years ‘2’ and ‘3’) which will be spent in a working placement in an exciting role in the IT or Computer Science field. This could be with a number of commercial or industrial organisations, and can even be a paid position. This will be an excellent way to set yourself apart from other hopefuls when competing for your first few positions.

    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.
