Bachelor in Software Engineering Degree Apprenticeship

Each week you will split your time between a paid apprenticeship placement and university-based study. In the workplace you will develop code, produce technical specifications, create test scripts and analyse engineering data, while on campus you attend lectures, labs and team projects that mirror real-world software development cycles. You will also work with industry mentors, contribute to research-informed projects and document designs using standards such as specifications and code analysis reports.

You will build reliable software solutions for complex engineering problems.

The apprenticeship suits applicants who enjoy coding and problem-solving, have a basic grounding in mathematics and English, and wish to earn a salary while gaining qualifications. The curriculum, drafted with input from leading engineering firms, ensures you graduate ready for roles in hardware-software integration and digital transformation. It is intended for students who can meet the entry criteria without needing a UK student visa.
