If you have studied computing at an international institution or further education college and meet Keele's entry requirements, our one year Computing Top-up programme allows you to ‘top-up’ your existing knowledge by completing the necessary 120 credits to gain a full BSc. From exploring how computing can be applied to a wide range of real-world interdisciplinary problems to gaining expertise at the cutting edge of the discipline - you will develop the intellectual, practical and transferable skills required for further study or employment in industry, commerce or public service. During the programme you will have the opportunity to study a range of innovative modules in current and emerging areas of Computer Science, including Web Technologies, Data Ethics and Security, Networking, Games Computing, Cyber Security, and Software Development Management. You will also undertake a 30-credit Computer Science project where you will integrate and apply theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills to a relatively large or complex technical, software, programming, research or business problem within the discipline. The topic of your project is decided by you but guided by our experienced academic staff. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
