Integrated Foundation - Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Software Engineering

Software Engineering helps students develop skills in software design and development, and the building of computer systems and applications software. They develop a wide range of knowledge and skills, including programming, requirement analysis and database development. Students explore professional, ethical, security and social implications of software engineering. All designed to equip them with a range of transferable skills that will help students progress rapidly into a role in industry.

The course introduces students to current industry software engineering practices, and they are also able to undertake an optional year-long placement which can help them improve employment prospects by providing real-world experience to develop new skills and a deeper understanding of the subject.

There are lots of opportunities to engage with industry through Teesside's connections with Cubic Transportation Systems, Sage, TUI, Atombank, HMRC and Waterstons. Students also work on live industry briefs, competitions and hackathons, including the Cisco University challenge which takes teams of students to the Cisco headquarters in London.
