Overview

This course allows you to benefit from Sunderland’s teaching of computing while you live in your own country.

Our courses delivered at study centres share the same ethos, material and approach as those delivered at Sunderland itself. So this course is a way to gain the benefits of an education from our University without having to move to Sunderland.

Like all courses from the University of Sunderland, this one-year course develops a blend of theory and practice. It will ‘top-up’ your existing knowledge and skills to the level of an honours degree.

By completing the course you will be adding value to your employability and attractiveness as a professional. Salaries in computing can be very attractive and our course is directly relevant to the needs of employers.
