Infrastructure and networks — not computer engineering hardware — sit behind the BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Networking) with Foundation Year endorsement. After Year Zero at Greenwich you move into computing study aimed at how systems connect and stay reliable. Full-time weekday campus days are listed at Bounty House on Creek Road. Compare the BEng Computer Engineering foundation page only when you want the engineering award type instead. Games, cyber security and biomedical foundation titles at the same college remain separate subjects. AF Education lists this pathway for UK home students and gives free help with the application and with Student Finance England.

Course overview from University of Greenwich International College
About BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Networking) with Foundation Year
The BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Networking) with Foundation Year is an full-time weekday bachelor's with University of Greenwich International College at the Greenwich London campus (Bounty House, Creek Road, SE8 3DE). Partner: OIEG.
Networking as the endorsement distinguishes this pathway from cybersecurity, data science, games, and core computer science foundation courses at the same college. Foundation-year status indicates a preparatory stage before the honours levels — useful for applicants rebuilding academic habits or changing career into infrastructure-focused computing.
Greenwich riverside delivery is the only campus for this course. Speak with an adviser to compare UGIC computing foundation endorsements and to raise Student Finance England questions appropriate to your circumstances — guidance only, never a funding guarantee.
If networking infrastructure and systems themes are the priority, keep this Active ID on your shortlist rather than defaulting to the plain Computer Science foundation page, and confirm which intake the college is recruiting for before you apply.
