Projects

We put theory into practice by helping our students gain the skills a successful software engineer needs to design, develop and deliver high-quality software.

Our degree programmes include extensive engagement with industry through client-facing projects. Using project-based learning and collaborative exercises, our students develop their teamwork, leadership, communication and problem-solving skills and learn how to make effective use of their time to deliver value.

Our award-winning teaching has been recognised for its innovative and collaborative approach by Cardiff University, for its long-term commitment to change the way that Software Engineering is taught by our industry networks, and by our students.

"It's exceptional! Their work is so far above anything else that we see coming out of universities. They come to us already understanding the dynamics of working within a team. They know about time pressures and the client problems that you come up against.”
Heather Perkins, People Experience Manager, Bipsync
