Our Direct Entry to the Final Year course tops-up your two year degree or diploma to an honours degree. It takes one year and is studied full-time. In the first half-year (semester) you study a core single (15 credit) module, and three options shown with an "A" in the list from the Modules tab. In the second semester you continue with two of these (shown with a "B") plus a core double (30 credit) module project. The core Professional Issues module examines the issues affecting IT Professionals, enhancing your value to employers. For the options, you initially choose three from the list of those offered, to fit in with your interests and career direction. If you wish, one of them can be taken from the list for our Computer Science degree. The modules cover a wide range of topics, so you can choose whether to specialise in a particular area or maintain a breadth of studies. When you start the course you will be given guidance on selecting which are the most suitable modules for you. Assuming you are successful you will be awarded a Bachelor of Science degree with Honours in Information Technology by the University of Hertfordshire.
