Be part of our thriving computing community

We teach through hands-on projects that test your analytical, problem-solving and technical skills. You could be tackling anything from hackathons to creating your own AI bot.

Our courses stay relevant and your skills meet the needs of employers. You'll use the same specialist kit found in industry, giving you a head start when you join the workplace. Our computing students gain industry technical skills from Cisco, AWS, Microsoft Azure and Encase. You can also become a certified ethical hacker and we have a VMWare Academy.

I've learned so much and I enjoyed talking with friends on this course. I feel confident to ask my lecturers for help. Me and another classmate are building a project in Django and styling it with Bootstrap. I've learned different industry standards on how to code, and also frameworks, libraries and modern languages, like Tailwind. It helps me get prepared for the future.

BSc (Hons) Software Development and Student Content Creator

Because of the vast amount learnt on this course, I was able to apply this on my placement year as a Junior Security Analyst. Thanks to the course, I was able to get myself a year of experience, which companies really look for. With experience acquired from my year in industry, I was also offered a full-time job after I'd finished my degree. The course has been superb!

Jemima Orakwue, Engineering Analyst, BSc (Hons) Computer Science

Jemima has landed a job as an engineering analyst with Goldman Sachs after transforming her confidence and skills through University of Staffordshire. During her placement year, she worked on cloud technologies, contributed to AI initiatives and proof of concepts, and helped to develop a prototype, and also became a mini-team leader.

"My student placement broadened my perspective and showed me what working in industry is really like. University has given me the confidence to grow. The lecturers believed in me.
