University of Hertfordshire

Hatfield , England ,United Kingdom

BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Online)

Our online computer science and information technology courses are very similar to our campus-based degrees and the academic standards required are just as high. However, they give you the flexibility to study from wherever you like and to fit learning around other commitments. Computer science gives you a broad range of skills and knowledge in core areas including foundations of computation, programming, multimedia, networks, databases, operating systems, and software engineering. Information technology includes many aspects of computer science, but with more focus on the computer technology needs of people and organizations.
