HNC Computing
The HNC Computing course aims to equip students with the foundation skills required to follow a career within the computing field at a technician level or junior programmer level. It is suitable for those who are unsure which area of computing to specialise in and provides a route for them to further their career. It is also aimed at those who wish to study computing at this level before undertaking a career in another field. Students who articulate can them specialise in greater depth and particular areas via options available in a 2nd year, or by articulation to an HE institute at 1st or 2nd year.
