Computer Science with a Foundation Year

About this course

Computer science is the discipline that provides the theoretical and practical foundations for all of modern computing, from the mathematical principles of algorithm design and computational complexity to the engineering methods used to build large, reliable software systems. It is a field in which core skills, logical reasoning, abstraction, and systematic problem-solving, remain valuable across a rapidly changing technological landscape, while specific languages, frameworks, and applications evolve continually. A computer science degree gives you the foundations to adapt to that evolution rather than being tied to any particular moment in it. At Loughborough University, this four-year, full-time programme includes a foundation year, which is designed for students who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for standard first-year entry, who did not meet their expected entran
