BSc (Hons) Computing With Foundation Year

Course Overview

At Just Educated, the BSc (Hons) Computing with Foundation Year is designed for aspiring tech professionals who want a strong start — no matter their background. This four-year program begins with a dedicated Foundation Year that builds your academic confidence, digital fluency, and essential computing knowledge, preparing you seamlessly for degree-level study.

In Year 1, you’ll dive into the fundamentals of computing — from programming and web development to user-centric design and databases. You’ll gain hands-on experience through a collaborative Group Project, developing both technical and teamwork skills from day one.

By Year 2 (Level 5), you’ll tackle real-world challenges with modules in Cloud Technologies, Data Science, and Application Development. You’ll apply your learning in an Industry-Related Project, solving actual business problems while honing your communication and presentation skills — key assets for any tech role.

In your final year, you’ll specialize through advanced modules like Cyber Security and Machine Learning, while mastering professional practices such as Project and Requirements Management. Your learning culminates in a 40-credit Final Project, where you’ll showcase your expertise in one of three core pillars: Technology, Software, or Data. This capstone experience mirrors real industry workflows, helping you build a portfolio that stands out to employers.

Whether you’re aiming for roles in software development, data analytics, cybersecurity, or IT consulting, this course equips you with in-demand technical skills, practical experience, and professional confidence — all within a supportive, career-focused environment.
