Provision of MSc Software Engineering Degree Course

The Information Technology Services (ITS) department have an ongoing requirement to build and develop the technical capability of ITS staff and have continually worked with universities to understand our current requirements and our business needs.

Over time we have recognised that a fully academic approach to learning does not provide us with staff that are fully job ready at the end of the programme, therefore limiting our success in fulfilling the recruitment criteria for vacant posts. In order to develop the technical capability required we have identified a distinct need for a specific course in MSc Software Engineering (Web) to support the attraction of STEM graduates. We have already seen the positive impact this training has had within our IT department, with many previous students securing full time roles with subsequent promotions
