Undergraduate

Applied Software Development

UK University

Overview

Applied Software Development is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Software Engineering starts from programming fundamentals even on postgraduate courses marked as conversion, which matters if your first degree was in another field.
