Course Overview

The BSc in Information Technology is a UK Level 6 honours degree qualification running three years full-time with part-time and accelerated routes available, aligned with IEEE Computer Society UK and RI chapter reference material and Institute of Coding curriculum guidance. It combines systems administration, cloud services, networking and support-service delivery so graduates leave equipped for UK information-technology roles across enterprise and public-sector employers, and the curriculum is refreshed each year against UK sector expectations and the UK software sector, from fintech to public-service delivery. Every module is written and marked to UK honours standards, and the same intake cohort covers on-campus, fully online and distance-learning routes with weekly tutor visibility across every mode. Assessment briefings, taught sessions and tutor clinics run to a single teaching rhythm, and the BSc in Information Technology schedule is published at the start of each intake so learners can plan around work, family and travel commitments.

By the closing weeks of the BSc in Information Technology you will administer cloud and on-prem estates, run structured support and change discipline and support UK IT teams as a graduate, and be ready to enter graduate-level UK employment or progress onto a Master. The programme sits within a short tube ride of the BCS at Southampton Street, the London Node and London Python communities and the software teams of the City and Silicon Roundabout, so the professional-body scene you are studying sits inside a short tube ride of the central London campus. Assessment blends coursework, laboratory reports, group projects and a final-year dissertation or project moderated to UK honours standards, with a named programme tutor from induction through the closing submission. Every learner receives structured milestone feedback, one-to-one review sessions and an evidence-based portfolio review that maps directly onto UK employer expectations for the BSc in Information Technology subject area.
