OVERVIEW

The Level 3 International Foundation Diploma for Higher Education Studies (L3DC) is an Ofqual regulated qualification. It is an Applied General qualification which allows candidates to demonstrate key transferable study skills, mathematical competency and applied cultural understanding, especially in the area of digital culture, as well as an understanding of the essential concepts of computer programming. L3DC is a pre-university bridging qualification designed to provide an entry route to UK and international university courses.

ACADEMIC PROGRESSION

Students that complete the Level 3 Diploma in Computing (L3DC) can:

• Enrol onto the NCC Education Level 4 Diploma in Computing (L4DC) or NCC Education Level 4 Diploma in Business Information Technology (L4BIT) , equivalent to Year 1 of a UK bachelor’s degree.

ADMISSION CRITERIA

To qualify for admission to the NCC Education Level 3 Diploma in Computing programme an applicant must have any of the following qualifications:

• Five credits at ‘O’ Level including English and Mathematics or three ‘A’ level passes including Mathematics.

DURATION OF STUDY

The course of study for the award of the NCC Level 3 Diploma in Computing shall be completed in a period of 1 semester.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Students must study the following five core units:

• Study and Communication Skills – equips a students with the essential study skills needed to succeed at university level. They will learn the basic skills necessary to conduct independent research, write academic papers, give formal oral presentations and apply what has been taught during lectures.
• Culture Studies – enables students to gain awareness and increased understanding of other cultures and their own alongside the impact of a more digitised world on those cultures. Students will be able to apply their understanding of culture to other aspects of their course and to their plans for further study and work. The course will, in part, help prepare students for studying and/or working abroad or working for multi-national companies in our highly interconnected, digitised world.
• Introduction to Computer Science – provides a basic introduction to a range of IT topics including organisation of a computer system, the relationship between hardware and software, applications of computers, databases, networking (with a focus on the Internet), graphics and multimedia.
• Introduction to Programming – exposes students to extensive practical use of the modern programming language Visual Basic to illustrate the classic programming principles of sequencing, selection and iteration in the context of object-oriented computer programming.
• Foundation Mathematics – This module builds upon student’s knowledge of mathematics whilst introducing new topics appropriate across a range of academic disciplines and for their future career.
