Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computing (with Professional Placement Year)

Program Overview

Computing at Bath Spa responds to a continuing need in industry for adaptable, capable individuals with well-developed technical knowledge and problem-solving skills. Our aim is that when you graduate, you'll be up-to-date, innovative, and ready to contribute to the digital economy – whether in the UK or worldwide.

BSc (Hons) Computing adopts a practical approach, with a particular interest in creating computing products that people will want to use. You’ll learn by making – right from the start of the course – and balance your focus between design (visual, interaction), technical implementation and communication, to round off your skillset.

A key driver of the course is industry-insight and employability. We work closely with tech companies in the South West to keep content current, while offering valuable opportunities to work on live briefs and showcase your talents to the right people. Our in-house Innovation Lab emphasizes the commercialization of your ideas. Here, we support you in shaping products for the marketplace and refining those all-important collaboration skills.

BSc Computing is about realising your ideas – from design, to development, to deployment. You’ll learn skills identified by industry as critical to the computing sector, including computational thinking, software development, problem-solving, user experience design (UX) and co-creation. These themes underpin the course, and are spotlighted in the Innovation Lab – a collaborative ideas space that reflects a professional tech studio. Here, you'll build commercial products and experiences that address a gap in the market, while receiving invaluable feedback and advice from entrepreneurs and industry specialists.

Across the course, you work to develop high-end portfolio pieces designed to showcase your talents to potential future employers or clients. You'll gain first-hand knowledge of the computing sector through specialist lectures and our industry-insight events, and enjoy support from tutors who interact regularly with the South West creative tech scene.

Professional Placement Year

This optional placement year provides you with the opportunity to identify, apply for, and secure professional experience, normally comprising one to three placements over a minimum of nine months. Successful completion of this module will demonstrate your ability to secure and sustain graduate-level employment.

By completing the module, you'll be entitled to the addition of 'with Professional Placement Year' to your degree title.
