Our BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions degree programmes adhere to the Degree Apprenticeship Standard for Digital and Technology Solutions Professionals.

Our Software Engineering pathway covers the learning outcomes for Software Engineer, Cyber Security Analyst and Data Analyst specialisms, because we believe that this career path requires its practitioners to be as highly skilled and expert in all three areas as possible.

The rules for the Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship mandate that students may only undertake one end-point assessment and this must be in their named pathway.

Graduates will gain a range of skills, knowledge and understanding across six core job role areas: business analyst, cyber security analyst, data analyst, IT consultant, network engineer and software engineer. Graduates of this degree will have expertise in programming (procedural, object-oriented, functional, and parallel), software engineering, web and mobile app development, relational databases, Big Data, machine learning, cloud computing, and cyber security. We also offer a Network Engineering pathway.

This Digital and Technology Solutions Professional Degree Apprenticeship is offered only to students undertaking the course as part of their employment.

Cloud Computing Specialist
