Not ready to commit to a 3 year degree?
Gain foundation skills and employment opportunities by graduating with a diploma. While a qualification in its own right, it can also be a pathway to a bachelor and beyond.
Computers have always interested me and having taught myself to code in high school, computer science seemed like a good fit. I love the variety in course topics. Computer science is not just coding; it involves design, electronics, cybersecurity, databases, networking, and a little bit of maths.
