A key distinguishing feature of this degree is that theory, teaching and learning is explored through real- world software development projects. Students work individually and in teams to manage, design, code, test, deploy and maintain high quality software. Working alongside fellow students and staff, you will be at the centre of a teaching network which includes industry mentors and industrial experts, who will offer their insight into how software engineering works in practice. Software solutions developed as part of the course will be presented back to real-world clients. You will learn and apply skills in an environment that feels less like a lecture theatre or laboratory and more like a software development company. From the earliest days on the course, you will be immersed in a project environment in which you will develop your communication, planning and teamwork skills and where you will learn how to make effective use of your skills and your time to deliver value.
