    Course Summary

    This degree program was developed to help technically-minded creatives and problem solvers learn how to really advance the science of software engineering, not simply turn out productivity applications. It is industry-focused of course, so you can be assured that the skills you learn will be highly sought-after and exactly what you need to excel in this field.

    With a BSc in Applied Computing from the University of Dundee you’ll learn both the core concepts and cutting edge applications of software engineering. You’ll see how software development is not just a technical exercise but a creative, personally rewarding one. You’ll also study User Experience in a practical, meaningful way, understanding how software can be made to satisfy the people who will ultimately be putting it to use.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

You will lean programming languages such as UNIX, OpenGL, NoSQL, SQL, ASP.NET, Unity, C++, C~ and Java, and choose one or two to really specialise in.

    Career Possiblities

    The University of Dundee’s Applied Computing degree is fully accredited by the British Computer Society, and its graduates are quickly snatched up by huge names like Microsoft, Chevron, Amazon and NCR. As the UK alone needs some 120,000 new software engineering graduates every year, you should not struggle to find a very rewarding position.

    Entry Credit

    Entry Requirements for UK and EU-nationals

    Dundee’s Applied Computing program typically requires applicants to have three A Levels at CCC or higher in computer science or 2 science subjects. SQA Highers and several other equivalent awards also qualify.

    Entry Requirements for overseas (non-EU) students                         

    International students must be fluent in written and spoken English. This can be demonstrated by an IELTS score of 6.0 or better overall, with no less than 6.0 in Writing and 5.5 or better in all other sections.           

    International students must also have earned a degree that is the rough equivalent of that required for UK and EU students. The requirements can be found here.
