Testimonials
These student testimonials give a flavour of what it's like to study at the National Software Academy.
The industry focus is the main reason I was interested in this degree. It’s great being able to work on real projects that may actually be used in industry after we have finished with them. I would say that having the experience of working with industry is definitely going to help when I graduate - having that real-life work experience.
I was really excited by the fact that this degree is applied; less lectures more coding. We get to do projects that are industry related so we talk to clients and we meet with them. We get to learn more things by actually practising them. What differentiates this degree from others is when I graduate I will be more ready to work.
BSc Applied Software Engineering was mixing almost an apprenticeship and degree into one. You get experience from working with real-life clients but also get a degree, so I can show employers that I have a degree but I also have experience at the same time.
