The Year in Computing<\/a> gives Kent students from any subject area the opportunity to add a Year in Computing to their degree to help improve their skills and employability. To help interested students find out more, the\u00a0School of Computing, have arranged a “kick start lunch”, with free pizza, on Tuesday 22 January,12.30-14.00<\/strong>, in Cornwallis SW101.<\/p>\n

Many students are keen to learn the tech skills that will make them stand out to a graduate employer, or simply want to learn more about computing for their own interests. The Year in Computing is a free-standing, self-contained year, offered to Kent students from any subject area* and can be taken after stage 2 or any subsequent year of your degree (including your final year). This extra year can be taken after stage 2 or the final year of a students’ current degree programme.<\/p>\n

Secondly at school IT was something I was really bad at and I wanted to become more accustomed to using technology at a more advanced level.\u2019<\/p>\n
