**Increasingly sophisticated software and applications are shaping our daily lives and revolutionising industries. Prepare for an in-demand, lucrative career with a professionally-accredited degree in Software Engineering at Salford.**
The pace of change and innovation in technology and software is rapid. Organisations of all sizes, in commerce, government, healthcare and retail, need talented people to create robust software systems that are usable, maintainable and transformational. With our specialised three-year course, you’ll build practical skills and real-world understanding, ready to become a professional software developer.
Accredited by the British Computer Society, our industry-designed course is delivered by experts. Through our industrial liaison committee, which has included Web Applications UK, Autotrader, DAI and FastWebMedia, we’ve designed a range of career relevant modules that build desirable skills. The course blends the core competences you need to thrive in an evolving environment, with awareness of risk and a flair in software specification, design and implementation. You’ll build programming skills and explore design patterns. You’ll develop awareness of data structures, algorithms and artificial intelligence. You'll address professionalism, ethics and quality management.
On the professional experience pathway, you'll spend a year in industry between your second and third year. This is an excellent opportunity to expand your CV, apply your academic knowledge, build workplace skills in a real-world environment, and to reflect on your own personal development and career choices. On successful completion of an industrial placement year, which you'll arrange with our support, you will add 'with Professional Experience' to your degree title.
With our envious campus location, minutes from central Manchester, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get involved in the region's thriving tech community. There will also be opportunities to enjoy extra-curricular activities through our computing society, or take part in HackManchester. Salford is also part of the recently announced GM Cyber Foundry, part of the city-region’s blueprint to be the European leader in digital which will see GCHQ move some operations to Manchester.
