The University of Birmingham has expanded its intensive technology Boot Camp courses by giving students the opportunity to choose between online courses or on-campus for the first time, giving more students across the country access to improve their skills and secure jobs in the technology industry.
Since the University launched its popular Boot Camps in 2019, it has welcomed more than 200 students to its 24-week intensive hands-on Coding and Data Analytics courses. The part-time programmes aim to support adult learners and working professionals into digital careers.
With the rising demand for web development and digital skills across all industries, the University of Birmingham Boot Camps are designed to prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to tap into today’s technological economy. Past alumni have since landed jobs with prestigious brands such as The BBC, HSBC UK, British Telecom, and more.
