This program serves as a foundation for pursuing a complete honors degree in Computing. Offered at Leicester College, the initial two years culminate in an HND qualification, after which students can progress to an undergraduate degree in Applied Computing. Completing a BSc degree requires one additional year of full-time study at De Montfort University's main campus.
The HND curriculum has been meticulously structured to deliver a comprehensive learning experience. Essential competencies in English, mathematics, and business skills - including report writing, teamwork, project planning, and presentations - are seamlessly integrated with academic subject matter.
This pathway is particularly beneficial for those seeking professional certification without immediately undertaking a full degree program, mature students returning to education, or applicants with entry qualifications below standard degree requirements.
Duration: HND - Two years full-time. BSc completion requires one additional year of full-time study at DMU's campus
