The University of Greenwich has a long-standing relationship with the British Computer Society (BCS), which accredits the computing degree programmes. This degree course employs a range of innovative teaching and learning methods. Lectures and laboratories or tutorials are dynamic and interactive. Students will be taught by an experienced team of lecturers, supported by a team of technical officers.

Students can also opt for a sandwich mode, which means they can take a year to work in industry between their second and final years of study. Sandwich placements are relevant to their degree subject and are paid roles. Former students have secured placement years at HSBC Hong Kong, Kent Connects, Affiliate Window, CERN, Royal Museums Greenwich and Uctel. In addition to this, learners are also encouraged to take up summer internships, though it is up to them to find those. Support is available to students from the Employability and Careers Service when applying for placements and internships.

Career opportunities exist in many computing areas, including IT support, consultancy, internet and e-commerce applications. Graduates can expect to work as independent consultants or in teams with other computer professionals to build and support modern computing systems.
