Do you want to study a discipline that has revolutionised our world and is found in almost every aspect of daily life?

Computer Scientists are vital to a progressive society. Graduates are needed to meet the grand challenges of ongoing advancements in technology and make us all more efficient. A STEM course like this doesn't just lead to a career.

Our foundation degree is designed for students who have the capability to pursue a degree at Huddersfield but do not yet have the required qualifications. The foundation element lasts one year to bring you up-to-speed. If you pass, you’ll progress onto our BCS-accredited BSc(Hons) degree. Once on the full course you’ll enjoy the same benefits as our other students. These include our staff who are actively invested in your potential - in the National Student Survey 2025, Computer Science ranked top in Yorkshire for assessment and feedback.

Why choose Huddersfield for this course?

Ground yourself in the foundation year to bring yourself up to speed before progressing onto a BCS-accredited degree if you pass.

A Common First Year across our Computing suite of degrees gives you the flexibility to switch courses later if another area is of more interest.
