Course Overview

The programme has been thoughtfully designed and developed by IDEA College, part of the IDEA Education Group, and is delivered through accredited study pathways. It enables students to undertake an undergraduate degree whilst progressively attaining recognised academic qualifications at each stage of their studies. Participants commence at Certificate level, progress to Diploma and Higher Diploma stages, and ultimately complete a BSc in Computing.

The programme focuses on delivering theoretical concepts and specialised skills in computing and information technology, encompassing areas such as mathematics, programming, data analytics, software development, data structures, computer systems, website design and development, and database design and implementation, amongst other key topics.
