Computing and Digital Technologies

Computing and digital technologies is a broad and practically orientated discipline that prepares you to design, build, and manage the digital systems that modern organisations depend on. It encompasses software development, networking, artificial intelligence, service design, user experience, and the application of digital tools to real-world problems across industries. At a time when digital transformation is reshaping every sector of the economy, graduates who combine technical competence with the ability to apply computing skills to genuine organisational challenges are among the most sought after in the labour market.

At Roehampton this part-time programme takes a project-based, integrated approach to learning, ensuring that you build practical experience alongside your theoretical understanding. The programme includes a foundation year for students who need additional preparation, a sandwich year providing professional experience, a year abroad that broadens your perspective on the global technology sector, and work placement opportunities. You will develop skills in AI, networks, and service design, building a comprehensive portfolio that demonstrates your capabilities to employers.

The part-time structure allows you to combine your studies with professional experience or other commitments, which is particularly valuable in a field where hands-on experience is essential.

Graduates go on to careers in software development, network administration, data analysis, digital project management, UX and service design, AI implementation, and many other technology-focused roles across every sector. The emphasis on applied learning and portfolio development at Roehampton means you graduate with demonstrable skills alongside your academic qualification. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in computer science, data science, cybersecurity, or related fields.
