Course Overview

Our BSc Computing top-up program aims to develop knowledge, technical skills, and self-directed learning skills in computing, especially in areas affected by rapidly changing information technology. Final-year students carry out a complex real-world computing project. Modern computing and information system skills often become obsolete as new technology is developed. Therefore the program strikes a balance between learning current skills, which are important in the marketplace, and emphasizing the underlying theories, which last longer and which provide a sound basis for developing new skills, techniques and technologies, and even new theories. The social and organizational impacts of information technology are also included.

General Eligibility

You may enter the BSc Computing program in Year 3 if you have successfully completed Birkbeck's Foundation Degree in Information Technology, or if you provide documentary evidence of completing an equivalent program at HND level or above at another institution (this should include web technologies, software development, and 'hands-on' computer programming).
