2012
BSc (Hons) Software Engineering graduate
Melanie now works as a software developer for a specialised software house.
"I joined Southampton Solent University after completing a HND and unable to find the work I wanted. I started at level 2 of the BSc (Hons) oftware Engineering degree|.
"The degree course covers all the skills needed for a professional career in computing, not only are the subjects commercially relevant but each module remains up to date with new technologies in the ever moving world of computing.
"The structure of the course enables you to build on your understanding of all aspects of software development, you work in groups and teams, which simulated some of the problems you will encounter in the 'real world'.
"This is not a course for the faint hearted but if you have a passion for computing you will find everything you need from this degree to embark on a successful career.
"Apart from the excellent course criteria I cannot fail to mention the staff, from the day I started at Southampton, I received a wealth of support, the teaching staff are extremely approachable and accommodating.
"In my opinion, the staff at Southampton Solent University go that extra mile for you, they really do care about each individual's success, after all our success is their success.
"The real proof of a good degree is really what happens after you qualify, well all I can say is with my degree in hand I was employed after one interview.
"I am now working as a software developer for a highly specialised, successful software house. Thanks Southampton Solent University."
