Software Engineering Higher Level Apprenticeship BEng

Without software engineering, you wouldn’t be reading this page. Software innovation has transformed the way we think about, and interact with, technology. In fact, all the forms of communication, interaction and access that we take for granted today are made possible by software in some shape or form. Which is why there still a demand for software engineers. From improving the efficiency of the apps we use in order to make them more sustainable, to developing scalable and secure app infrastructure, Software Engineers have skills that drive innovation. In essence, they are problem solvers with the ability to take an existing software system and creatively refine, enhance and transform it into something even better. This higher level apprenticeship programme is designed to equip you with the analytical, reasoning and practical skills you will need to design, develop and deploy large software systems. Plus, our project-based learning approach throughout the course enables you to benefit from your experience in your employer. As an apprentice employer experience is embedded into this course and allows apprentices to engage and learn from their employer from day one. Through real-world experience gained from employment and learning from what you are taught on the course you will have the best opportunity to develop your skills to have a successful career.
