What is a Computing top-up course for and how can I apply?

The Computing top-up year is for those who have a qualification at HE5 level i.e. foundation degree or HND, or significant professional experience in a Computing organisation, such as programming, software engineering, cyber security or similar fields. It allows students to study at HE6 (third year of a degree) to obtain a full Undergraduate degree.

If you have any other enquiries relating to this you can contact the Computing Team to discuss, their contact details can be found at the bottom of the specific course page by searching the Computing subject area.

You can also chat with our staff directly every Wednesday from 2 pm - 4 pm and periodically throughout the working week.

Alternatively, chat with our current students who will be able to share this information with you and any other course-related queries.

Or book onto one of our Open Days or Course Advice Days to find out more and speak with the team.
