The University Course Finder uses information from the Government’s new Key Information Sets (KIS) database, which provides the ‘Average of course spent in scheduled learning and teaching activities’ by course.

The Good news comes at a time when Students studying within the School of Applied Computing recently indicated their satisfaction with the School via the completion of the National Student Survey (NSS), awarding the School an Excellent rating of 91% overall satisfaction. One programme individually identified in this survey was the B.Sc. CIS programme which obtained an incredible rating of 100% student satisfaction.
