Getting in
As the university states it
The entry requirement for this course is a Bachelor (Honours) Degree at a 2:2 or above in any discipline. However, 30% of the modules studied in the degree must be Computing related. If you do not have 30% computing modules studied in the degree but have a minimum of 2 years programming/computing related work experience, you may still be considered. Alternatively, other qualifications or experience demonstrating through our recognition of prior learning processes that you have appropriate knowledge and skills at SCQF level 10 may be considered. We may also consider lesser qualifications if you have sufficient professional work experience within a relevant industry. There will also be an interview for this course if necessary, undertaken by the programme leader, to assess suitability of applicants from a non-standard background.
