Program Overview

Computer Systems Engineering (Top-Up) via Study Centres BSc (Hons)

Overview

The content of the course mirrors the Sunderland-based equivalent course Computer Systems Engineering (Top-Up).

Our courses delivered at study centres share the same ethos, material and approach as those delivered at Sunderland itself. So this course is a way to gain the benefits of an education from our University without having to move to Sunderland.

Like all courses from the University of Sunderland, this one-year course develops a blend of theory and practice. It will ‘top-up’ your existing knowledge and skills to the level of an honours degree.

Please contact your Study Centre for the duration and mode of this course.
