Overview

This page covers Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Computer Science across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a Approx 24 Months (960 guided learning hours) undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Computer Science lets you specialise partway through, usually between security, data and software engineering.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 5.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £6,950 a year.

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