About this programme
A conversion course that accepts applicants without an undergraduate computing degree. Content covers web development, computer networks, database modelling and systems analysis, with graduates targeting software engineering, systems analysis, database development and IT consulting. The programme is accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. Entry requires a minimum 2:2 honours degree in any subject.
What the fee covers: the international full-time rate for the first year of study.
Fee year: 2026-27.
English requirement as published: IELTS (Academic) 6.5 overall with 5.5 in each component.
Before you budget: the page prints 'Full International Fee: £21,500' with the qualifier 'This is the tuition fee for your first year of study. You should expect to pay tuition fees for every year of study. The University may increase fees in the second and subsequent years of your course at our discretion.' The course is one year full-time from September 2026, so in practice one charge applies — but that wording is the university's own and matters on any longer route. The UK fee for comparison is £11,250. The page states 'There are no Additional Costs'. This is the Newcastle City Campus course; Northumbria University London is a separate campus with different fees, so a London price is a different course. At £21,500 this is the most expensive UK university listed here — Teesside at £17,000, Sheffield Hallam at £18,600 and Coventry at £19,500 offer comparable conversion courses for less.
