    Course Summary

    A BSc degree in Computer Science from the University of Hull is a great way to prepare yourself to step into an exciting and lucrative career in one of the fastest growing specialties in the UK and worldwide.

    Though this degree can be taken in just 3 years, many students opt to add a foundation year. The foundation year will serve several purposes. First it will give you an introduction to studying and taking tests at a university level, and get you used to life at the University of Hull. It will also introduce basic mathematic and scientific principles as well as crucial background knowledge. This option is perfect for those with experience but no degree awards, those without high UCAS Tariff scores or for those who are returning to education after a long absence.

    Another option is a year studying abroad or in work placement, taken between years 2 and 3 of the program.

    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.
