This HNC introduces software development, covering the design and build of high-quality software. Learners study programming in C++, object oriented design and programming, SQL and project management, alongside client operating systems and database design. Learners also gain confidence in writing clean, maintainable code.
The qualification is pitched at the level of the first year of a degree and runs full time across three days each week on campus, with some hybrid learning throughout the year. It gives a route into computing employment and a solid base for later study, and learners build both technical and workplace habits. Graduates leave with the knowledge they need for employment in computing.
Graduates may move into roles in software development, programming or IT support, depending on the direction they choose.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: One relevant Higher (Computing Science, Maths, Graphic Communications or another Science or Technology subject) plus three National 5 qualifications, or progression from a similar SCQF Level 6 college computing course. Others are considered individually.
