Post Course Info
This MSc programme aims to give industrial software engineers the skills to incorporate the new concepts, methodologies, tools and practices they learn on the course into the projects they are working on in their companies. Students may be experienced software development professionals who feel that they are missing out on certain developments, new technologies or topics in software engineering that they would not normally be exposed to in their job. Participants value the opportunity to meet other professional software engineers from different backgrounds and experiences and get a different perspective. For some, the course will open the door to the research world with opportunities to publish their work. Many participants have used this MSc as a stepping stone to significant career advancement.
