The degree lasts four years. All computing students share a common first year that introduces the fundamentals of computing and helps them decide on a focus. In the second year core networking, database and cloud modules are taught. Year three includes a minimum 12-week industry placement and a group project that builds a real-world IT infrastructure. The final year offers advanced networking, machine learning and cloud courses together with an individual project.

Students benefit from modern teaching labs with real networking gear, small class sizes and a curriculum mapped to industry qualifications such as CompTIA A+, CCNA and CCNP.
