Overview
Course overview
The Level 5 Extended Diploma in Computing is presented by OVS Edu as a 240 credit pathway that brings Level 4 and Level 5 study together in one undergraduate route. It is designed as a 2 year degree pathway accelerator for learners who want to complete the equivalent of the first two years of a UK computing degree before progressing towards final year Top-Up study where accepted. The Level 5 stage builds on earlier computing study and develops broader professional and technical capability across digital transformation projects, business communication, connected devices, information systems, advanced project work, databases, data engineering, machine learning, programming, cloud computing, cyber forensics and network design.
