Q&A with speakers

Why a convert your degree to Computing?

According to a Higher Education Labour Market Earnings Report released by the HEA in 2019, ICT graduates are among the highest weekly earnings four years after graduating compared to other sectors based on the analysis of the destinations of students who graduated between 2010 and 2017. Given the high earning potential and excellent rate of graduate employment in the area, it’s not surprising many graduates consider a conversion programme in computing.

The HDip in Computing is primarily aimed at level 8 graduates (both recently graduated and those with industry experience) from other sectors that wish to re-train so that they may gain employment within the software industry and be in a position to compete against other level 8 computing graduates for the broad range of computing opportunities available.

The course will produce graduates with much sought after skills in software testing - covering both manual and automated testing and will prepare graduates to work as testers and QA specialists in any IT domain. Graduates can expect to find work as a ’software tester', 'QA consultant', 'agile tester', 'functional software tester'. Participants will also build valuable Web development and database skills.
