Full-Time 1 year
Part-Time 1.5 years

About the Course
The course is designed to meet the on-going industry demand for computer professionals. With three themes focusing on current and future growth areas in computing, this higher diploma programme bridges the gap between non-computing disciplines and computing science. Its specific aim is to provide rigorous and stimulating classes for students who wish to acquire theoretical and practical training in computing and, particularly, in software development. This course is ideal for non-computing graduates who want to compete favourably against computing science graduates for the broad range of computer opportunities available.

Progression
On successful completion of this diploma, students who obtain Second Class Honours or higher are eligible to be considered for entry to the MSc in Computing Science programme.

Careers
The primary reason why students choose this course is to change the focus of their careers. The widespread impact that Computing Science has on our daily lives cannot be underestimated; neither can the job prospects on completion of this course. Successful students can expect to enter careers as systems analysts, IT managers or software developers.
