Introduction
"Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, examinations may be replaced by an alternative form of assessment during the academic year 2021/2022. Please refer to the Programme Specification on these pages for further details."
Why choose this course?
- You can study when and where you want, fitting in with your other commitments such as work or family
- Our online degrees are based on their on-campus equivalents with the same academic quality standards and processes so your award will be recognised worldwide
- Study at a highly-regarded, well-established computer science department with excellent facilities, strong links to both business and research, and a track record of graduate success.
- BSc (Hons) Information Technology is also available to study online.
What's the course about?
If you have a computing or information technology-based qualification that’s the equivalent to the Second Year B.Sc. degree, you can join the Final Year of either of these two B.Sc. courses. Our online computer science and information technology courses are very similar to our campus-based degrees, and the academic standards required are just as high. However, they give you the flexibility to study from wherever you like and to fit learning around other commitments. Computer Science gives you a broad range of skills and knowledge in areas including programming, multimedia, networks, databases, operating systems, and software engineering. Information technology includes many aspects of computer science, but with more focus on the needs of people and organisations.
Programming Self-Test
Download our programming self-test document for a selection of exercises to help you see if you have sufficient knowledge and skills to complete the online programming module at Level 6 in Computer Science.
You can complete the exercises in any language you are familiar with, but it should support both procedural and object-oriented programming. There is no marking or other assistance provided for this test. It is designed to help you assess your own abilities in programming.
