About the BSc Computer Science top-up

The top-up is the final year of a computer science degree. It skips introductory material and goes straight to advanced topics such as artificial intelligence, data science and software design, ending with a substantial individual project.

It's designed for students who already hold an HND in Computing, so you build on what you studied rather than starting again from year one.

Typical topics in the final year

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Data science
  • Advanced software design and modelling
  • Honours degree project (double module)

Entry requirements

You need a Pearson BTEC HND Level 5 in Computing or a closely related subject. Not there yet? The HND is the first two years of the route, and you can study it at ABC Horizon.
