Computing
and Information Technology

Computing and digital technologies are at the forefront of innovation and advancement in virtually every field.

They have transformed how people connect, communicate and collaborate on a global scale. Social media, online platforms and
digital communication tools have made it easier to share knowledge and ideas and participate in a global community.

The teachers of Computing and Digital Technologies at Guilford Young College recognise the demand for professionals with expertise in this area and how studying these fields opens up a wide range of career opportunities in software development, data analysis, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and more.

At GYC we have classrooms fully equipped to enlighten and stimulate young minds. Computers with graphics software, graphics tablets and 3D printers are all available in the computing classroom.
