Course summary

Our Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) courses are designed for learners who either:

  • want to study for a degree but don’t yet hold the entry requirements for a full degree programme, or
  • do not want to commit to a full degree programme at this point but would like a level 4 undergraduate qualification equivalent to the first year of a degree.
The UA92 Certificate in Higher Education Software Development equips graduates to operate as highly skilled and reflective professionals in the fast-changing field of computing. A practical understanding of the design and implementation of software solutions will be studied alongside the underlying theory and principles of key technologies. An appreciation of the human and organisational aspects along with key legal, social, ethical and professional issues will be studied in context. By studying this course, you will develop strong communication skills enabling you to communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. This courses places a strong emphasis on the development of programming skills early on. As you progress through your studies more advanced practical and intellectual skills will be developed. At the final stage, research and critical thinking skills are further developed to prepare you as a future graduate to operate reflectively and to continuously develop as a professional. You will also be able to learn new technologies, languages and approaches in this rapidly evolving domain. This course has been co-designed with industry partners and will continue to be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Your UA92 degree goes far beyond the traditional academic experience. Each academic year, in addition to your four subject modules, you’ll study an extra credit-bearing module, which focuses entirely on character and personal development. You’ll get to take on a real-life project, based on a live scenario, set by one of our industry partners. You’ll experience first-hand the current issues facing the industry, get the opportunity to apply your subject knowledge, challenge your perspectives, step outside your comfort zone and build key employability skills to prepare you for your future career. These experiences are instrumental in developing transferable skills and key competencies such as leadership, resilience and well-being, communication, problem-solving and team-working. To help you track your progress and further refine your developing skill-set, you’ll meet regularly with your own personal development coach throughout years 1 & 2.
