Combined Studies – Digital Package

The digital package combines qualifications in Information Technology (IT), Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence (AI). These qualifications have been chosen to give you a broad understanding of IT, while providing you with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in two growing areas of focus for the industry – cyber security and AI. This combination is the equivalent to two A-Levels and you will select one additional qualification (equivalent to one A-Level) from either computing or business studies to complete your package. If you are unsure which additional qualification is the right one for you and your career goals, please speak to one of our careers advisors.
