Software Engineering BSc (Hons) with Foundation
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.
Campus Information
Waterside Campus
In the summer of 2018 the University of Northampton moved to the brand-new Waterside Campus. This seven-year project saw a neglected brownfield site transformed into a successful and impressive new campus that facilitated a radical re-engineering of the University in terms of both teaching methodology and governance structures. aterside is a waterfront site of 24 hectares on the edge of the town centre. Its successful completion has turned a derelict site into a leading facility in the higher education sector. The project brief emphasised integration, of the University into the town and local community, and of departments, facilities and teams within the University itself. New pedestrian and road bridges and cycle routes link the site to the town, and public facilities and commercial outlets are part of a Waterside experience which continues beyond the University to local historic buildings and parks.
