About us

The National Software Academy (NSA) is an exciting initiative by Cardiff University, working in partnership with the Welsh Government and industry leaders.

The NSA delivers innovative undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. Both courses focus on providing the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience required to be immediately effective as a commercial software engineer.

Our aim

To address the national shortage of qualified, industry-ready software engineers, we aim to produce sought after graduates with industrial experience. To achieve this, we will work closely with industry-leading professionals and local businesses to deliver project-based teaching and training in a bespoke commercial/IT environment.

Key features of our degree programmes include extensive engagement with industry through client-facing projects and a focus on teamwork and industry working practices.
