About Program

Program Overview

The overall aim of the programme is to provide a strong foundation in broad computing knowledge and essential skills in computer programming which are required for Software Development. Graduates of the programme will gain strong programming skills and a high degree of self confidence in their ability to pursue further qualifications in Software Development which will ultimately give them access to a wide range of exciting roles in the Computing and IT industry. The online format and blended-learning delivery of this programme is specifically designed to allow students to gain their education in a highly flexible manner.

There are a limited number of fully funded places available (eligibility requirements and conditions apply) for this course as part of the Skill-Up programme from the Department for the Economy. These places are to retrain eligible individuals with no prior qualifications in coding or Computer Science.

If you’re looking for a career changing stepping stone into our part-time Master’s in Software Development, a strong foundation in coding and computing can help you stay professionally relevant.
