FdSc Business Information Technology: University of East London

About the programme

Foundation in Business Information Technology at UEL is unique. Our foundation degree provides excellent opportunity for students to develop their skills in the work place while studying and completing some highly demanded vendor certifications such as: European Computing Driving Licence, BCS Law, and others. The modes of attendance have also been designed to suit individual needs.

The programme contains a mixture of practical and theoretical classes with project work forming a central role.

Career opportunities

The Foundation Degree is a nationally recognised qualification in its own right. Many graduates would prefer to progress directly into work at this stage, typical jobs being in user support, or as junior analyst programmers.

Many others however may prefer to progress onto the UEL BSc Business Information Systems programme, where they can also gain further work experience with companies.

Others, a much smaller set, may progress further with their studies to take Post Graduate programmes at some later date.
