The BSc (Hons) in Software Development is a four-year Level 8 degree programme that provides students with the theoretical knowledge and practical competencies necessary to support a career in the software development industry.
More specifically, the programme provides students with an in-depth knowledge of modern software development languages, techniques, tools, methodologies and their application to real-world problems. Students will become proficient in the application of state-of-theart technologies in areas such as cloud computing, machine learning, big data and data analytics. Students will also be equipped with research skills that will enable to them to become independent self-learners.
Software Development is a Level 8 programme that will give you the skills and knowledge you need to design and build applications that people use every day, for the desktop computer, for the web and for mobile devices (such as smart phones and tablets). As a Software Developer, you will be involved in all stages of the application from start to finish. You will be taught how to take a concept/idea from a description and develop it to make a fully working application. You will develop problem solving and programming skills to solve simple (and eventually complex) real-world problems using computers.
One of the benefits of this Honours Degree is that it has a broad range of modules. The main focus of the degree is programming, so you will learn languages such as Python, Java, C, JavaScript and PHP. You will also learn about databases (where and how data is stored), operating systems, object-oriented programming, application development, software testing, data analytics and many more topics. You can also take elective modules in a selection of areas. You will complete projects on your own and in groups throughout the degree, which will prepare you for working in industry.
