Our Accreditations

Most of our courses are accredited by the British Computer Society, the Chartered Institute for IT and the Professional Evaluation and Certification Board. We are also provisionally accredited by the National Cyber Security Centre. These accreditations mean we are delivering knowledge set to the benchmark standard for students leading into the professional industry.

All undergraduate courses are available as either three-year continuous courses or four-year with an optional placement year in industry.

I first applied for Computer Science, but after being accepted, I saw that the Computer Science for Cyber Security course offered a placement year. This was an opportunity that really appealed to me. I switched courses, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.
