Applicant profile

We are looking for applicants with a strong interest in computer networking. You will be interested in what makes a network 'tick' and how the different elements of which it can be composed can be combined to create a whole that is fit for its intended purpose. An attention to detail and a good work ethic are important to this course particularly if you are interested in taking up the opportunity of doing an industrial placement as part of your degree.

We positively welcome applications from students who may not meet the stated entry criteria but who can demonstrate their ability to successfully pursue a programme of study in higher education. Students who do not have formal entry qualifications are required to sit a written assessment which is designed for this purpose. Support in preparing for the written assessment is available from the University. Please contact Jos Hirst the Director of Admissions for further information.
