Access to Computing 1 term | September. This programme is a pre-university access programme specially designed for Applied Computing. The overall aim is to equip students who have not achieved the minimum entry requirements for BSc (Hons) Computing with the fundamental knowledge and essential skills required for the intensive study of the BSc in Computing at Buckingham. The 12-week programme consists of three modules in mathematics, fundamentals of computing and web computing. Students must pass all modules before being allowed on to the BSc degree programme. Successful students will be awarded a Certificate of Preliminary Studies for Computing.

The successful completion of any of our Foundation level courses will allow you to progress to an undergraduate degree (according to the specialism of the Foundation level course). Our Foundation courses will equip you with the vital academic and language skills needed for Buckingham’s two-year undergraduate degree. Most students are therefore able to complete their foundation and degree programme in three calendar years.
