    "summary": "**Why an Integrated Foundation Stage?**\nAn Integrated Foundation Stage starts your degree studies with a year spent learning the skills required to progress onto a full honours degree. Alongside an introduction to Computing, you will develop valuable study skills, communication, team work and problem-solving techniques which help to build your confidence and prepare you for the rest of your course.\n\n**Why Computer Science?**\nOur Computer Science degree helps you build your technical and entrepreneurial skills, working with industry names such as Hewlett-Packard, Fujitsu and GE Aviation. You’ll learn to patent your designs and prepare a professional portfolio to help launch your career. There’ll be the chance to work on real business briefs, from the development of mobile apps, to hardware platforms and mission critical software. With opportunities for work placements with companies such as Accenture and Renishaw, as well as paid freelance work during the course, our graduates stand out from the competition. There is even the chance to design and build a line-tracing robotic car and travel to Germany to participate in the European Renesas MCU Car Rally.\n\nYou’ll draw on the expertise of experienced lecturers as you develop your abilities in computing problem solving and software engineering, learning high and low-level languages such as C/C++, Java, Python, HTML5 and CSS. Students can also take advantage of cutting-edge facilities including a purpose-built computing and technology suite with dedicated IT labs and industry-standard tools and operating systems, including Android, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Drones, Photoshop, Microsoft, Oracle and Cisco.\n\n**Why University of Gloucestershire?**\nAt University of Gloucestershire, we’ve been encouraging students to meet every ambition since 1847. Join us and you’ll benefit from our three UoG promises:\n\n**1.    UoG Career Promise** – if you are not in a job 6 months after graduating, we’ll guarantee you 6 months of free support post-graduation should you need it, followed by the offer of a paid internship and lifetime career coaching* (*eligibility conditions apply).\n**2.    UoG Accommodation Promise** – we guarantee all first-year students accommodation on, or near, the campus you’re studying at.\n**3.    UoG Connections Promise** – whilst at UoG, you’ll find the connections to reach your goals. With over 4,000 placements and more than 60 clubs and societies to join, you’ll make connections for life. \n\nOur ambition is boundless. Experienced lecturers promote a real-world ethos and treat our students as more than just a number. Alongside our strong support system, guest speakers, networking events and influential partnerships will help you prepare for life after graduation, whether that be in a successful career in your field or onto further study. Students never tire of finding inspiration here in the unique county of Gloucestershire – innovation and bravery thrive here. Cheltenham and Gloucester offer the best of city and country living, with the rolling hills of the Cotswolds paired with vibrant nightclubs and stunning parks in the bustling town and city centres.\n\n**After the course**\nYour story doesn’t end with us at graduation. We support our graduates to balance purpose with ambition, and 95% of University of Gloucestershire graduates are in work or further study within six months of completing their course*. \n*Graduate Outcomes Survey published 2024 and based on 2021/22 leavers.\n\n**Experience an open day**\nBook yourself a place at a University of Gloucestershire open day at www.glos.ac.uk/BookAnOpenDay. Our open days have been designed to inform you, inspire you, and help you make the right decision about your next step. It’s your chance to see the university for yourself and meet your potential course tutors and lecturers.\n\n**To find out more information about this course, visit www.glos.ac.uk/OurCourses, email us on enquiries@glos.ac.uk or call 03330 14 14 14.**",
