Academic Route

The Certificate courses at the College are in Computing Science, Electronic Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. These are 11 month courses which have been established with the assistance of the University of Newcastle. The Certificate cover similar material to the Ist year of the Degree courses at Newcastle University in these subject areas. The Certificate is a recognised qualification for direct entry to the 2nd year of the corresponding degree programmes at Newcastle University. It is also anticipated that the Certificate will be recognised by other universities in the UK and overseas for advanced entry.

Each certificate course is divided into a number of modules. An individual module consists of lectures, problem solving sessions and revision sessions which are followed by an examination. A great deal of emphasis is placed on solving problems which is an important skill for a professional computer scientist or engineer. Please refer to the individual courses for their subject details.
