Overview

This software engineering degree develops practical abilities in coding, analytics, security and agile working. Early study covers core computing skills, using languages such as Python and C++. Students work on real-life projects and team assignments in specialist labs. Later years extend into web development, advanced programming, operating systems and the software development cycle. The final year covers topics including user experience and embedded software, and ends with an independent project. A common first year lets students switch to a related computing course if their interests change. Students also build confidence through team assignments and labs. Graduates assemble a portfolio that can support applications for roles including software developer, security analyst and data scientist. A placement year is included in the course structure.
