We understand that computing is a diverse subject and that it can be difficult to know what area youÕd like to specialise in at this stage in your career. ThatÕs why all of our courses within the computing framework share a common first year, giving you the time to really explore the subject before deciding on a specialism. There are courses that allow you to keep a relatively wide focus, as well as degrees that provide a greater level of specialism, giving you plenty of flexibility when it comes to which direction you want your career to take.
