Foundation Year in Computing

Kingston University

This Foundation Year in Computing will give you the knowledge and skills to progress your studies and establish your ambitions. You’ll get a taste of academic life in a supportive university environment, with access to cutting-edge facilities.

This is an integrated foundation year, not a standalone course. If you complete it successfully, you can progress to the first year of your chosen degree.

Maybe you don’t have the right qualifications to join the first year of a computing-based degree. Perhaps your previous studies have been in an unrelated field, or you’re returning to education after time in employment. Whatever your reason, this Foundation Year will help you realise your potential.

During the course, you’ll take core modules that cover everything from professional skills and project management to the basic concepts, theories and technologies of computing. It’s the perfect way to gain an overview of the field before you specialise.

Through a blend of studio practice, project-based learning and context driven lectures, you’ll develop technical and communication skills and apply your knowledge to real-life problems.

You’ll complete the Foundation Year in Computing ready to progress to Year 1 of an honours course.
