The Bachelor in Applied Computing (BSc) at De Montfort University provides a broad understanding of aspects of Applied Computing, whilst allowing students to specialise in their chosen areas. It develops technical skills in computing, including agile programming, mobile applications, information security, analysis, database design, and business intelligence alongside developing critical thinking skills vital to working in complex IT environments.
The course also benefits from the unique research contribution of the Internationally renowned Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility (CCSR), which embeds ethics and the impact of computing and technology within the modules.
Professionalism within the industry context is emphasised throughout, with strong links to BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT). Students will be exposed to multiple concepts, tools and technologies that are current industry standard, in addition to the fundamental underlying principles.
The curriculum of the Bachelor in Applied Computing (BSc) offers students significant employment opportunities aligned with the shift in the IT industry towards hybrid professionals who engage with both technical and business aspects. Through thinking critically and systemically, graduates are attractive prospects to a wide range of roles and employers.
This course has achieved initial accreditation from the British Computer Society (BCS), subject to a final review of degree outputs after the first cohort has graduated. Confirmation is expected in 2025.

Key Features of the Program
- The university has more than 50 years of computing experience that students can learn from. This long-standing history allows students to draw on a wealth of research and academic expertise to inform their studies.
- Students will enhance their employability and gain industry experience by undertaking an optional work placement. Previous students have carried out placements at organisations including Caterpillar, GCHQ, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Siemens and Vauxhall.
- Students will develop their practical skills in the university's specialist facilities. They’ll have access to 100 computer workstations which are divided into five interconnected laboratories, each with 20 high-specification PCs running Windows/Linux.
- They will enjoy an international experience with DMU Global, which can enrich their studies and expand their cultural horizons. Previous DMU Global trips have included New York, Berlin, Hong Kong, China, Canada, Japan, South Africa and Italy to name a few.
- Through block teaching, students will focus on one subject at a time instead of several at once. This means that they will be able to focus closely on each subject and absorb their learning material in more depth, whilst working more closely with their tutors and course mates.
- They will benefit from block teaching, where most students study one subject at a time. A simple timetable will allow them to really engage with their learning, receive regular feedback and assessments, get to know their course mates and enjoy a better study-life balance.
