MEng Computer Science (Software Engineering) with an Industrial Placement Year

You'll learn state-of-the-art software design and programming technologies, and also practise your skills in project management, teamwork and working with customers - skills expected by employers.

You'll get a solid grounding in the fundamentals of computer science and the opportunity to explore aspects of artificial intelligence.

In the second year, you'll develop software for real companies. In the third year you'll carry out an individual research project, giving you scope for creative and intellectual input.

Your year in industry will put your studies into context and give you a head start in the careers market. You will pay a reduced fee to the University for that year and you'll be paid a salary.

In the final year, you'll get the chance to participate in Geneys - our student-led software development organisation.

Accredited by the British Computer Society. This course fully meet the requirements for Chartered Information Technology Professional and Chartered Engineer.
