We are living in one of the most documented and inter connected periods in
our history with many aspects of our daily lives now being assisted by
increasingly complex digital technology.
From smartphones and smart TVs
to self-driving cars and big data systems, our economy places great importance
on serious computing and programming skills to shape the future of society.
Develop skills in Computing and Digital Technologies and you’ll be
employable the world over.
The modules studied may include:
You will be equipped with a range of valuable skills securely underpinned by
relevant and up-to-date knowledge of the principles of computing and modern
digital technologies. You will have access to a well-resourced and specialised
cyber security and networking laboratory where they will have the opportunity to
practice the skills and knowledge gained in the theoretical sessions.
The
programme fosters autonomy within the student body in their professional
development and a professional approach, bound by professional codes of conduct
appropriate to employment within the computing sector.
You will have the
opportunity to develop products and/or relationships with regional, national and
international companies involved with Computing and Digital Technologies as well
as foster your own professional skills.
The programme incorporates
various modes of delivery for flexibility and diversity, helping to support your
learning by tools such as, Smartboards, Virtual Learning Environments, Forums,
online tutorials and learning materials.

I was drawn to UCS because it offers a way of gaining a really good degree without leaving home. I considered going to other universities, but wanted to stay local. The quality of teaching is fantastic. Our lecturers really know their stuff and give us loads of support. We have weekly one-toone tutorials and can email them at any time. Their passion for the subject is contagious.
Our specialist teaching staff have hands-on experience of working in computing, and offer expert tuition in labs and classrooms. Assessment is through a mix of assignments, practical work, reports and presentations. There are no formal examinations, only coursework.
As part of the course, you will be required to undertake projects both in groups and individually using industry-standard software and access to specialist resources such as the Extended Reality, Cyber Security and Networking Labs.
A prominent feature of the course is the use of in-course assessment, where modules are assessed by the course teaching team as you complete them. The focus of the degree is the final year computing project, showcasing your high-level computer skills in a practical project of your choice. This course is typically delivered on-site two days a week across the academic year.
As a Computing and Digital Technologies graduate, you will be equipped with a range of professional and technical skills that are all highly desirable to prospective employers. Moreover, you’ll have experience of working in real-world environments and on real-world projects where adaptability and the ability to handle pressure are essential.
The course fee is £8500.00* per year of study.
