A Graduate of the FdSc Software Development is someone who has studied the fundamental technical aspects of computing. They have chosen an academic pathway that enables them to develop further their understanding of how reliable and secure software is developed. They will have developed software using a variety of different paradigms, using a range of languages and will have developed confidence in being able to use any new languages that they are required to use in the future. They will understand how to use models in the software development process to model systems and organisations, and to solve complex software development problems. They will also be able to program user interfaces that are fit for their intended purpose, allowing users to interact with systems securely and safely. They will have taken opportunities to meet with local businesses in the digital industries, and applied their knowledge and skills to developing software solutions to computing problems.
