Bootcamp2Studio — an innovative way of learning

Our undergraduate IT courses use a teaching model known as Bootcamp2Studio. In this model, you will undertake up to six weeks of intensive, focused learning across a programming session known as a 'boot camp' to give you a solid foundation in theory. Next, you'll spend nine weeks learning in a studio-style environment. Here, you'll go into more advanced techniques and apply them to solve real-world challenges, working both in groups and independently.

Through this hybrid form of teaching, you'll build transferable skills in problem solving and teamwork, learn to adapt to new projects, technologies and settings quickly, and be exposed to professional practice and standards that prepare you for your future workplace.
