LM173 BSc in Immersive Software Engineering   

LK315 MSc in Immersive Software Engineering 

ISE is a new computer science degree where you learn by doing. You get an integrated bachelor’s/master’s qualification. 

You spend half your time learning on campus undergoing continuous assessment. 

You spend the other half of your time getting paid for solving problems on your residencies in leading companies.

Over your four years you will complete five paid residencies, spending over 40 weeks every year learning in a personalised and highly interactive environment, allowing you to work in small groups with your peers and mentors. 
 

You learn software engineering by doing it.
