Programme structure
Computing programmes are three or four years in length, as the sandwich degrees include a one-year work placement. If you want to change to one of our specialised degrees, rather than the Computing degree, this is easy to arrange. Students are able to work in groups to develop computer-based solutions to real-life situations, often in co-operation with local companies.
