About

Gain industry insight through paid placements, internships, and school-based opportunities, supported by our dedicated Employability and Careers Service.

Our BSc Computing (Extended) degree is designed for students who would benefit from an additional year of study to build confidence and develop essential academic and technical skills before progressing to Year 1 of the full degree.

In your foundation year, you'll be introduced to key computing concepts, problem-solving techniques, and academic study skills that will prepare you for success in higher education. From Year 1 onwards, you’ll explore core subjects such as software development, hardware systems, and business-oriented computing.

The course offers flexibility to tailor your learning to your interests and career goals, with specialist pathways available in areas such as information systems. You’ll graduate with the skills and experience needed to pursue roles in software development, IT consultancy, and technical support.

To enhance your employability, you can choose to take the course in sandwich mode, which includes a paid year-long industry placement before your final year. Short-term placements in schools or colleges are also available for students interested in teaching. Many students also take advantage of summer internships, supported by the university’s Employability and Careers Service, which offers CV clinics, mock interviews, and skills workshops.

Graduates have gone on to work with organisations such as Oracle, Kent Connects, and the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development. This course is accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, and fully meets the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered IT Professional (CITP).

Career

Careers and placements

Will I have a work placement?

This course can be taken in sandwich mode, which means you can take a year to work in industry in the year before your final year of study. Sandwich placements are relevant to your degree subject and are paid roles. It is the very best way of preparing you for successfully finding a job quickly when you graduate.

For those students who are interested in pursuing a career in teaching you also have the option to select a module for which you will be required to undertake a short-term placement in a school or college.

How long is my placement?

Sandwich placements last for between 9-12 months. Work-based learning module placements are normally one day a week for either one or two terms depending on the number of credits available from the module.

What are the financial arrangements?

Sandwich placements are paid roles whereas work-based learning module placements are normally unpaid.

What sort of careers do graduates pursue?

Former students have secured placement years at Kent Connects, Oracle, and the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development.

Opportunities exist in many computing areas such as IT support, consultancy, internet and e-commerce applications. Graduates can expect to work as independent consultants or in teams with other computer professionals to build and support modern computing systems.

Are internships available?

Students are encouraged to take up Summer internships during the Summer holidays, though it is up to the student to find them. Support is available to students from the Employability and Careers Service when applying for placements and internships.

Do you provide employability services?

Employability activities take place all the time at Greenwich and students are encouraged to take part in as many opportunities as possible. The central Employability and Careers Service provides support for students preparing to apply for placements and graduate roles, such as CV clinics, mock interviews and employability skills workshops. In addition, your School has a dedicated Employability Officer who will be organising work-related activities throughout the year which will help you to build you industry knowledge and networks.
