Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of York. A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects. Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science With a Year in Industry The University of York's broad and principled approach to computer science will give students a thorough grounding in theory as well as practical skills, helping them to solve real-world problems. Students will study systems at different levels of abstraction, including digital hardware architectures, low level programming, operating systems, intelligent systems, compilers and high level languages. They’ll learn to design user-centred systems, recognise the power of data, and build intelligent systems that learn from data. Students will spend a year in industry, furthering their knowledge, networking and getting real-life experience. The courses are designed with an Industrial Advisory Board, so graduates will be well placed to adapt to the workplace.
