Student Testimonials

I find the course really interesting. The content is relevant and I've found the abilities I've gained have made finding a suitable industrial year placement a lot easier. I feel that I'm learning skills useful and applicable to my future in the industry! - Gideon Jones

The industrial year gave me experience which I would have otherwise not been able to acquire. Having studied in a foreign language school, I came with no programming experience at all. In the past 4 years, I can safely say that I have not just become a programmer, but also a software engineer. The facilities provided by the university offer an excellent opportunity to practise the material taught in the lectures. - Georgi Tanev Atanasov
