Computing and Information Systems (CIS):
BSc, Diploma and Work Experience Entry Route
How you study
Our programmes offer you an alternative way of obtaining a prestigious degree or other qualification at a reasonable cost. You can choose to study independently, working completely on your own, or you may prefer to study in a small group with a tutor or by correspondence. Many students enrol with a local institution either full time or part time, and gain the additional benefits of face-to-face academic support and interaction with fellow students. Please note that tuition support from the University is not available.
Your pack of study materials includes:
- a Handbook, containing academic advice on effective study techniques
- Subject guides for each unit studied
- a Resource guide
- a booklet containing your assignments and instructions on how to submit your coursework
- past examination papers and Examiners’ reports
- a copy of the Regulations.
Studying at an institution
Students taking the Diploma in Computing and Information Systems must attend an institution that has been given ‘Permission to teach’ by the University. We strongly advise BSc students and those on the Work Experience Entry Route to seek tuition from one of the institutions that hold ‘Specified’ status, or from another institution. A table listing institutions is shown below (for further details please see the prospectus).
Internet access
Every BSc student must have access to the Internet on a weekly basis, for a minimum of 30 minutes. Internet access is required for a number of purposes, including access to a central
Computing web page. Institutions with BSc ‘Specified’ or Diploma-teaching status will provide some Internet access for students. Institutions teaching for the degree on an informal basis
may provide Internet access as part of their facilities. If you are studying alone or at an institution that does not provide the required level of Internet access, then you will need to ensure you have access to the Internet.
Important note
Diploma-teaching institutions with ‘Advanced’ status
Institutions may apply to be awarded ‘Advanced’ status. This means that, in addition to being granted ‘Permission to teach’ the Diploma, the institution itself administers both the entrance and admission processes, overseen by the Programme Director. Although the admission process is handled entirely by the institution, students are still registered with the University of London International Programmes and are granted a University of London award. Please note that ‘Advanced’ status only applies to admission to the Diploma in Computing and Information Systems, not the BSc.
