Overview

Foundation Programme: Business Computing and IT is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Business Computing is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
