Offered by the University of London
On successful completion of this programme, students will be offered a place on the UoL online BSc Computer Science degree on Coursera
With flexible pay by module tuition, you’ll only pay for the current module you’re studying.
Complete the course in as little as six months - or study at a pace that suits you, with up to three years to complete the programme.
Lecture videos, live sessions, group feedback sessions, and connection with instructors and peers.
The International Foundation Programme (IFP) for Computer Science gives you the knowledge and skills you need to progress to the University of London’s online BSc Computer Science degree.
You’ll gain valuable hands-on programming experience, using Python to gain understanding of loops, variables, data types and functions. Using Tableau, you’ll learn to tell stories with data, creating and customising dashboards to communicate with a range of audiences. You’ll also learn to apply statistical analysis tools like causal models and inference methods to solve real-world problems.
With extensive experience in distance learning since 1858, you’ll enjoy engaging, hands-on competency-based learning modules created using UoL’s unique CAFE (content, activity, feedback, evaluation) methodology.
To give you the best possible preparation for your subsequent degree programme, the IFP for Computer Science also provides a computing-specific academic skill building component. This module will increase your data literacy and ensure your ability to create properly referenced critiques and arguments, drawing on a range of academic texts and other research sources.
Through the University of London’s comprehensive approach, you’ll also be able to fill any gaps in your mathematics knowledge so that you can successfully progress onto the online BSc Computer Science degree.
