3-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science

Program Description Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career. Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Westminster. The commercially well-connected University of Westminster is hugely international. Students can study alongside students from nearly 170 countries. The Computer Science BSc will give students the computing skills and knowledge to help shape the future of businesses and organisations. The course covers all the key areas in computer science, software engineering and development, and also explores specialised computer science topics, laying the foundations for success in a rapidly changing environment. A key benefit of the course is its flexibility. Students will be able to build a customised route within computer science, following a pathway in one of a number of computing areas to suit personal interests. Students will develop a wide range of skills and knowledge in areas such as creative computing, information systems, graphics and games development, mobile and web computing, software engineering, design and development, and software security. Students will use industrial tools and techniques throughout the course and graduate well versed in all aspects of the software lifecycle. Students will have the chance to apply new knowledge and skills to a real-world problem, usually in the form of a small-scale project set by an external organisation. As well as the technical skills students will develop as part of this project, they will build key transferable skills around the areas of commercial awareness, leadership and organisation. After completing the second year, students will have the opportunity to do a one-year work placement in industry. This will help them to gain work experience and enhance employability after they graduate. Students will be offered help and support to find and secure placement opportunities through various workshops and events organised by the University's Careers and Employability Service and our course team. Typically, students will be assigned into roles involving tasks related to computer science.
