About this course
This programme is for international students who have successfully completed 2 or 3 years of degree studies (to HND or associate degree level) in Computing, Computing for Business, or related fields, and who wish to complete their degree studies in the UK. The programme combines content-based studies with the development of English, academic skills, intercultural skills, and independent research skills. The programme prepares students for further English-medium study at master’s level and for vocational work in English-medium global environments. This programme includes opportunities for students to study Computing for Business alongside UK-based students. The programme is delivered in small, interactive classes (maximum 20 students for language-based studies) where there are many opportunities for discussion, asking questions and getting to know tutors well. Students receive regular individual tutorials, support with settling in the UK and advice on further UK-based studies.
We also provide presessional programmes for students whose English language level is below IELTS (equivalent) 5.5.
Assessment methods
All our classes are workshop based and include interactive and developmental activities. We expect you to ask questions, discuss information, give presentations and evaluate information. Group work and group projects form an important part of your studies.
All our classes allow you to get to know your tutors and other students well. For the language and research-based modules, you work in class groups of no more than 20 students, and your subject-based modules are usually delivered in class groups of around 25 students, which include other international and UK-based students. All classes take place on campus.
In addition to your assessed modules, you will also participate in additional (non-assessed) classes. This is an important way for you to integrate into UK-based study whilst improving your language and academic skills. The courses are provided at no extra charge to you.
A weekly class in academic and professional skills (48 hours over two semesters) gives you the opportunity to work alongside UK and other international undergraduate students whilst developing your academic skills for English-medium based study.
Weekly classes introduce you to academic life at the University of Chichester, and outline the ways we do things (15 hours over two semesters) with other international students.
Weekly language and discussion groups (22.5 hours over two semesters) which provide informal tutor-led sessions to encourage you to explore and discuss topics of contemporary interest alongside international students from across the university.
IELTS preparation classes (12 hours over one semester) for students needing to undertake IELTS examinations for postgraduate university entrance.
