Licence en Informatique (avec mention)

Students who complete the course successfully will receive a BSc (Honours) from the University of Central Lancashire. Furness College and UCLan's agreement is reviewed every five years to align with employers and the sector's development.

For a full-time 3 year Honours Degree, students will study 18 modules, 6 in 3 years for a full-time student. Part-time students will study no more than 4 modules per year. If the student has had a previous study at an appropriate level, they may be entitled to APL (Accreditation for Prior Learning). Each module has a level rating, ranging from 4-6, roughly corresponding to Years 1-3 of your Degree.

Each module is a self-contained block of learning with defined aims, learning outcomes, and assessment. A standard module is worth 20 credits. It equates to the learning activity expected from one-sixth of a full-time undergraduate year. Modules may be delivered 10, 20, or 40 credit modules.

To obtain an Honours Degree, the student must pass 18 modules at Level 4 or above, with at least 12 at Level 5 or 6, including at least 5 at Level 6. The double module project will provide 2 of the Level 6 modules.

It is a good idea to take a year out in the industry – a placement – between the second and final year. This is optional, but it will give the student valuable work experience that will make them stand out when looking for a career. We will provide help and advice on seeking a placement from the Program Leader during the second year, but we cannot guarantee a suitable placement. As the student will be treated as a normally paid employee, they will have to apply for and undergo the normal company admissions process to obtain a placement. Placements can be anywhere in the UK or even abroad.

The course offers a mixture of lectures, tutorials, and practical classes to help students learn.

When not attending timetabled sessions, you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study.
