Course Description
This course sits within a suite of four Foundation Degrees, all designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours to enter or progress in the field of professional computing. Students will learn about a wide range of professional and transferable skills, including professional behaviours needed in the workplace, as well as application of academic skills to the workplace. To this end the programme structure includes modules of work based leaning at level four an a project module at level five that is also work based, allowing students to connect to real life, real work situations and opportunities to enhance their understanding and professional competence, making them valuable employees. Students will gain further understanding of the importance of effective communication both with external clients and within a team situation, and will be encouraged to practice these skills throughout the course.
On completion of the Foundation Degree, students may wish to enter into a variety of computing roles where a Software Engineering qualification is desirable. Those already in professional roles may progress into more senior positions. Students may also wish to progress into further study at level 6, gaining a full BSc degree in a computing discipline.
