Software Engineering BSc (Hons) with Integrated Foundation Year
Our Software Engineering BSc (Hons) programme enables students to develop and apply a range of industry essential analytical and problem-solving techniques to facilitate real-world computer software development scenarios.
Students build the required academic underpinnings, interpersonal skills and professional software engineer practitioner capabilities via the use of many simulated case-studies in a very practical learning strategy.
Through their learning journey, students will study modern software engineering elicitation, analysis, specification, design, programming, testing and software evaluation theories and will devise solutions to real and simulated industry problems. Students will have the opportunity to have a hands-on approach with a variety of modern software development tools, languages and development environments.
We’re here to support you in achieving your ambitions, no matter what they might be. During your time studying this Software Engineering degree, we will help you to identify your skills and strengths, as well as gaining practical experience to help you appeal to potential employers. We’re so confident that you will secure a paid position or continue your studies once you graduate and complete one of our awards, which is why we have created the Northampton Employment Promise.
