Your growth and development as a technology-driven computer science practitioner will be assessed through the completion of industry-based projects. This will ultimately help you build up a body of work and portfolio to share with potential employers or your first client.

To complement your technical skills, you will graduate with employability skills, introductory project management skills, and scholarly techniques for higher education.

Within a matter of months, you’ll learn the fundamentals of computer science, setting you up for entry into junior industry roles using modern concepts and strategies and positioning you for future computer science studies such as our Associate Degree or Bachelor’s program.
