Course summary
Why study this course
This course aims to make you a highly employable software engineer with the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience that graduate employers are looking for.
Designed in close collaboration with industry, this innovative degree will help you gain experience in hands-on software development using current commercial tools and techniques. Our teaching focuses on cloud, mobile and web development, with an emphasis on technology and standard industry practices.
You will create software-based solutions to real problems in a dynamic, tech start-up atmosphere at the National Software Academy. The Academy is part of the School of Computer Science and Informatics.
The National Software Academy, a part of the School of Computer Science and Informatics, has a strong and active industrial focus, which informs and directs all teaching. We are committed to providing students with teaching of the highest standard.
Key skills are taught through lecturer-led sessions typically with a high proportion of hands-on, practical learning, using current commercial tools and techniques. You will be given a set of concepts and examples, and are then challenged with one or more problems on which you can apply your new skills.
You will often work together to apply your knowledge to achieve solutions to real-world problems in a project-based learning approach. Ample time for mentoring is provided in the timetable, which complements the expected (and significant) self-study that is required. Further learning is provided through industrial talks or additional mentoring.
