| Informatics launches a super-fast track to a degree completion in 6 months |
| Informatics students will now be able to complete their Computing degree from the University of Portsmouth in just 6 months. |
Informatics, a provider of quality lifelong learning services, has launched a super-fast track to a degree completion in just 6 months.
The degree offered is the Bachelor of Science in Computing from the University of Portsmouth. This fast-track 6-month programme is specially designed for students in the Computer Science and related disciplines, with relevant working experience in an information technology or computing environment. The students will be granted exemptions for the first two years of the degree programme, based on previous qualifications and work experience, and will be offered a place in the final year, where there are three core modules which can be completed in 6 months.
Said Dr Michael Teng, Chief Executive Officer, Informatics Group: "We have specially worked out this fast-track programme with our university partner, as we understand the needs of our students - they all want to get their degree in as short a time as possible, without compromising on the quality of the qualifications awarded."
"Today's students not only want to have a degree but are also eager to enter the workforce early to get a headstart over others, and to gain as much experience as possible to climb the career ladder. Hence, we believe that it is timely to offer this fast-track degree programme."
"Computing is a popular discipline and it makes sense to offer it first. We expect good response for this programme, and will look at offering similar fast-track programmes in other disciplines in the near future," continued Dr Teng.
The 6-month fast-track Bachelor of Science in Computing programme will involve coursework and written examinations components.
