Cloud Computing can be defined as the unification of devices, operating systems, data and storage into a single system. This award is designed to provide the education and training required to prepare you for a career in software design, focusing specifically on Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing has been referred to as “climate change for IT” with a significant growth in employment opportunities in this area.

As part of your adventure in software design, you will have the opportunity to work in industry both locally and abroad on our work placement programme. This gives you relevant working experience and valuable contacts in the industry before you graduate. If you decide to travel abroad on your placement our excellent International Office will set you up with one of our partner institutes across Europe and Asia. The world really is your oyster.
