Our course and modules have been mapped to take advantage of curriculum recommendations and aims developed by the:

British Computing Society (BCS)

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)

Association of Computing Machinery (ACM)

Overview

In your first year you’ll learn the fundamentals of computer science, programming, and IT systems. You’ll then build on these foundations with a range of specialist optional modules in your second and third years.

Paid placements, work experience programmes and live client briefs will give you plenty of opportunities to develop practical skills. So that by the end of your degree you’ll be ready to present your final year project to industry representatives at our annual Computing Showcase.

At Worcester Business School you’ll join a community of students from all over the world, all based together on the same campus in the centre of Worcester. You’ll learn your classmates as well as guest lecturers and our expert academic team.

In your first few weeks at university, you’ll meet your friendly personal academic tutor and they typically remain with you throughout your degree. They’ll get to know your strengths and where you can develop, offering personalised support and feedback throughout the course.

Placements

On this course there are different ways to gain valuable work experience. You’ll have the opportunity to do a short, paid placement, a year-long internship or part-time work with a local business.

Our dedicated placement team offer one-to-one support - helping you find internships, make your application, and prepare for interview. You could choose to do your placement in the local area, making the most of connections with employers in the region, or you could choose to move another city or country.

Recent students have done placements and internships at Bosch, IBM, Clearview, and Electronic Arts.

Part-time work experience

You can earn money and get experience

relevant to your degree with our Springboard Programme. Our placement team

will match you with local businesses and regional employers.

Roles are typically short-term, and project based, but many of our students end up securing part-time contracts for the duration of their degree.

Course content

Each year you will study a mix of mandatory and optional modules. This flexible course lets you explore different subjects and career paths in computing before choosing to specialise in your final year.

We regularly review our courses to reflect the latest research and developments in the subject area, as well as feedback from students, employers and the wider sector. As a result, modules may change to ensure the course remains current and relevant.

Optional modules will run if enough students choose to study them. It is not guaranteed that all modules will be offered every year.
