The University will consider all applications on their individual merits and offers will normally be based on the above entry requirements.

We welcome mature applicants and will consider relevant experience as an alternative to the standard entry requirements.
We appreciate that problems can occur in people's personal lives which may have an adverse effect on their performance in exams. The Admissions Tutor will consider any extenuating circumstances in a sympathetic manner and may make allowances where possible.
The School does not interview applicants. However all applicants are invited to a Schoolal visit day, during which they will have the opportunity to talk to various members of staff and current students. In addition applicants can contact the School throughout the year with any queries they have.

In the event that you fail to gain sufficient qualifications to enter directly onto the degree, the School also offers a Foundation Degree in Enterprise Computing, which may be suitable. The School will make an alternative offer for one of these courses if you are considered suitable.
Alternatively you may be eligible for the BSc(Hons) Computing with Foundation Year degree. This is a four-year full time or five-year sandwich course, the first year of which is a foundation year that provides you with the skills you need to complete the degree. Successful completion of the foundation year guarantees you progression onto the first year of the link degree.

Specific A levels are not required. Many of our students have no formal qualification in Computing on entry to the course and we assume no prior knowledge of Computing.
We want you to have an inquisitive mind and be interested in how and why things happen. You should also be able to think logically and use your initiative when solving problems. Most important of all, you should be keen to develop your skills and learn more about computing
