Faster route
The University of Glasgow offers Faster Route for Computing Science and Software Engineering BSc and MSci.
Applicants to Computing Science or Software Engineering degrees who attain exceptional grades in their Advanced Highers, A-levels or International Baccalaureate may apply for Faster Route. Attending additional classes enables the four-year BSc Honours degree programme to be condensed into three years, or the five-year MSci degree programme into four years.
Unique Faster Route Computing UCAS codes should be used when submitting applications. In the event that we are unable to accept your Faster Route application, but you meet the year 1 entry requirements, you will automatically be made an offer without needing to submit an additional application.
