Computer Science is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a two year higher national diploma, which carries into the final year of a degree.
Teaching in Computer Science starts from programming fundamentals even on postgraduate courses marked as conversion, which matters if your first degree was in another field.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
The strongest technical degree for the widest range of employers, and the one whose interviews are hardest. Hiring turns on data structures, algorithms and a portfolio, so a placement year and personal projects matter as much as the classification.
No register. Cloud certification, or a master's in a specialism, are the two directions most graduates take.
