Computing Pathways

GCU Pathways

As a pathways student, you'll enrol on the undergraduate BSc (Hons) Computing (GCU Pathways) at Glasgow Caledonian University. In the first two years, you'll study either HND Computing: Software Development or HND Computer Science at Glasgow Clyde College while preparing for year three and four of the degree.

The BSc (Hons) Computing course equips you with the knowledge, understanding and skills required of a modern IT professional. If you want to study computing but haven't decided on a specific area of interest, this course lets you personalise your studies and prepares you for a range of graduate roles.

In years three and four you'll further develop expertise in core areas while being able to choose elective modules which allow you specialise in your chosen area of interest. Possible specialisations include mobile development, cloud systems development, secure software development, user experience development, advanced project management and Big Data.

You'll also have the possibility of undertaking an industry placement or studying abroad through exchanges with this course. You'll be encouraged to take part in activities with the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). Our computing programmes are accredited by the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS).

Students who have sat a secondary school qualification in Saudi Arabia are not generally able to join an undergraduate programme at the University and would be required to undertake a foundation programme before joining one of our undergraduate programmes at GCU.
