SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
Have you always wanted to learn coding and
programming? Are you analytical by nature?
Software Engineering is a rapidly growing field in
the IT sector. As our work continues to advance
technologically, companies need software
engineers to design, write and test the systems
that underpin their work. This could be anything
from video games to national health IT systems.
In your first year you will cover the basics of
software development such as fundamentals of
programming, website design and development,
software engineering principles and practice,
logic and problem solving.
Your second year will build upon the previous
year’s knowledge so that you can plan, design
and develop software according to stakeholders
and users’ requirements.
Your final year will be the culmination of
everything you have studied and applied into
your Final Year Project, demonstrating the
complete software development lifecycle.
Offering degrees that are in demand in industry
is important to us, that’s why this programme
includes an Employability Skills for Computer
Graduates module to support and assist you
when applying for jobs and graduate schemes.
The course will provide you with the opportunity
to gain work experience by working on ‘live
projects’ for local and regional employers.
We encourage you to get work experience
wherever possible alongside your studies.
By the end of your degree, you will have
sufficient knowledge, understanding and
expertise to enter employment at any stage
of the software development lifecycle.
If you have not met the entry requirements,
you can still join the degree by enrolling onto
our Foundation year. For HND holders, you can
take the final year of this degree as a degree
top-up programme.
With your degree in Software Engineering, you
