Higher Education Accreditation
BCS has many responsibilities under its Royal Charter. One is to develop and maintain standards in educational qualifications that provide an appropriate foundation for those who wish to follow a career in computing or information systems.
As part of this responsibility, BCS undertakes a programme of visits to Universities and other Higher Education Institutions to review computing courses.
Courses are accredited for Chartered IT Professional (CITP), the Society's own Chartered qualification.
Additionally, as a Nominated Body of the Engineering Council UK and the Science Council BCS is licensed to accredit courses at Chartered or Incorporated Engineer and Chartered Scientist level.
