Software Development (Top up) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

The BSc (Hons) Software Development (Top up) builds on your level 5 qualification. It has been developed in partnership with employers, reflecting local and national demand for software development professionals. A Software Developer provides technology enabled solutions to internal and/or external customers, in a range of areas including software, business and systems analysis, cyber security, data analysis and network infrastructure. They implement technology solutions that enable businesses to develop new products and services and to increase an organisation's productivity using digital technologies. They are confident, competent and capable independent professionals, able to operate in a range of related roles.

Students on this programme will be expected to design, build and test high-quality software solutions. The software engineer role is often broader and with higher levels of responsibility than a software developer as you need to apply engineering principles to all stages of the software development process, from requirements, analysis and design, development and data requirements whilst ensuring security robustness is embedded by design.
