Course Summary

**Course overview** - Gain software development skills in a practical, hands-on way with our Software Engineering Foundation Entry Degree course. You’ll cover a range of technologies from mobile phones to enterprise applications - across the whole development lifecycle. And you’ll understand the requirements of each stage, from design and implementation to testing. - Foundation Entry degree courses are ideal if you’ve got the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly join an honours programme. It’s a great stepping stone to a full degree. - Students on our various Computing courses share a common first year, so you’ll have the option to transfer to one of our other specialist courses, including Computer Networks and Security or Computer Games Development. **Why study with us** - In your first year you’ll develop interactive games using 3D graphics. - We emphasise practical-based learning using purpose-built laboratories and the University's general computer rooms.
