Computing

Our Computing courses offer an innovative approach to teaching. Our courses will equip you with the skills required by both technical industries and employers, with increasing demand arising from non-technical industries. Our subjects include computer science, programming and software engineering, information systems and e-business technologies through to networks, cyber security, audio and video, artificial intelligence, web technologies and natural language technology.

We are recognised internationally for the high quality of our teaching, research and extensive industry partnerships, and have established ourselves as one of the leading academies for Microsoft and Cisco Systems.

You’ll be taught across our City Centre Campus including the £70 million STEAMhouse building with access to collaborate with businesses on live briefs and projects, and access to networking facilities at labs in the £6.5 million Millennium Point Building.
