拥有BSc荣誉基金会的数字媒体开发课程为那些不具备计算机科学系所有三年制学位课程入学要求的学生提供了入学途径。成功完成预科课程后，可以自动升入任何计算机科学本科学位课程的第一年：计算机科学BSc，软件工程学士，数字媒体开发BSc，商业信息系统BSc和计算机游戏开发BSc。传统上，通过这个基础年级课程升读三年制学位的学生表现非常好。如果您不准备开始大学的第一年课程，则可能会很感兴趣基础年级的路线，这可能是因为您已经失学了一段时间，或者您认为当前的学历水平不足以使您尝试三年制年制本科计算机课程直接。本课程的核
The Digital Media Development with Foundation BSc Honours offers an entry route for those students who do not have the required entry requirements for all three-year degree pathways in the department of computer science. Successful completion of the foundation year enables an automatic progression onto the first year of any Computer Science undergraduate degree: Computer Science BSc, Software Engineering BEng, Digital Media Development BSc, Business Information Systems BSc and Computer Games Development BSc. Students who progress to the three-year degrees via this foundation year route have traditionally performed very well. The foundation year route may also be of interest if you do not feel ready to start the first year of an undergraduate course, perhaps because you have been out of education for some time or you feel your current qualifications will not equip you to attempt a three-year undergraduate computing course directly. The core modules of the course will enable you to possess theoretical knowledge and practical skills on: UX principles of a range of interfaces and digital media applications, user centred design and development of web applications ranging from simple web sites, to responsive sites that adapt to multiple platforms and devices to web mobile apps, 2D and 3D user interfaces and web analytics. In the second and third years of the degree (Levels 5 and 6), students are able to select option modules that can give them a direction of further specialisation to native mobile application development, server side, or back end development, and 3D digital media and games. Full time Foundation year, Optional sandwich year.
