Programme Aims

The programme aims to:

1. Develop advanced computing knowledge relevant to contemporary digital and technology-driven environments, including programming, software engineering, data systems, and artificial intelligence.

2. Equip learners with technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills required for professional roles in software development, data analysis, and IT solution design.

3. Foster innovation, creativity, and solution-oriented thinking in the design and development of computing systems and applications.

4. Embed digital, analytical, and data-driven approaches to decision-making through the application of modern computing tools, methodologies, and technologies.

5. Prepare graduates for further academic progression to Master’s level study (EQF Level 7) in Computer Science and related disciplines.

6. Enable learners to demonstrate professional competence through applied computing practice, particularly via the development and implementation of a real-world computing project.

Programme Structure

The programme is a full undergraduate degree comprising 180 ECTS credits delivered over three academic years (60 ECTS per year). There are no optional modules; all are core.

Programme Structure & Core Modules

Note: Learners admitted through Recognition of Prior Learning (APL) into the Final Year (Top-Up) must successfully complete the 60 ECTS credits of Year 3.

Assessment Strategies

The programme uses varied assessments aligned with the level of study.

Year 1 (Foundation Level)

• Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) Examination: 50%

• Coursework / Practical Assignment: 30%

• Demonstration / Presentation: 20%

Year 2 (Intermediate Level)

• Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) Examination: 50%

• Coursework / Technical Assignment / Development Task: 30%

• Presentation / Demonstration: 20%

Year 3 (Advanced Level)

• Assessment methods are flexible and may include:

  • Advanced coding and project portfolios

  • Applied project proposal and final research report

  • Oral presentations and software demonstrations

  • Critical reflection and evaluation of project outcomes

  • Technical documentation and system implementation reports

Entry Requirements

A. Admission into Year 1

Applicants must have successfully completed upper secondary education equivalent to:

• UK: A-Levels, RQF Level 3, Scottish Highers

• Germany: Abitur

• France: Baccalaureat

• Spain: Bachillerato

• Other Countries: An equivalent school-leaving certificate granting university access (generally 11-12 years of formal education).

English Language Proficiency (evidenced by one of the following):

• Successful completion of a programme taught in English (minimum 6 months).

• Minimum IELTS score of 4.0 (or equivalent TOEFL).

• A qualification at EQF Level 2 or above examined in English.

• A regulated English test score aligned with CEFR Level B1+.

B. Advanced Standing / Credit Transfer (APL)

Students may be admitted directly into Year 2 or Year 3 based on prior learning.

• Requires a recognised Diploma or Higher Diploma (typically aligned with RQF Levels 4 and 5 or equivalent EQF levels) in Computer Science or a closely related field.

• Module exemptions and credit transfer (from studies typically not older than 10 years) are possible subject to evaluation.

Delivery Mode

• Fully Online and Blended Learning

• Each taught module includes 8 hours of online learning, tutorials, and interactions with the Module Leader.

• The programme is designed for flexible, self-paced learning.

Duration / Notional Hours

• Maximum Duration for Completion: 4 years for the full 180 ECTS programme.

• Maximum Duration for APL/Top-Up Students (Year 3 only): 18 months.

• Notional Hours: Based on the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), 1 ECTS credit typically equates to 25-30 notional student work hours.

  • Therefore, the full 180 ECTS programme represents approximately 4,500 to 5,400 notional hours.

  • A standard 10 ECTS module represents approximately 250 to 300 notional hours.
