- At the start of the week, access your weekly course content and check your assigned project and understand what is required to complete it
- Start engaging with your digital content in line with your project requirements
- Attend your weekly workshop with a field expert to better prepare for your project and hear about industry insights
- Organise an action learning set with your peers to discuss and tackle challenges together
- Book a group mentoring session with your programme mentor for additional support
- By the end of the week, submit your project and start a new weekly flow!
Software Engineering Curriculum
What you’ll cover throughout your learning journey.
Basic software engineering principles, variables, functions, loop statements, if statements, basic algorithms and data structures.
Javascript
IDE
Terminal
Cover fundamental computer programming concepts and learn the basics of C. Build a solid foundation in back-end programming including pointers, arrays, strings, algorithms, hash data structures, software architecture, blockchain basics and more.
C IDE Assembly
Learners advance to more in-depth C programming such as Shell, then move on to cover intermediate data structures and algorithms. Learners recode the Redis database and cover LibASM before moving on to sockets, diving into client-server relationships.
C & Shell Virtual machines Sockets
Perhaps one of the most challenging tracks, learners dig into object-oriented programming (OOP), C++, Elixir, network programming,
real-world software projects, and move into advanced algorithms, AI, and advanced data structures.
C++ & OOP
Elixir
Network programming
Learners complete a final program project that aligns with the industry in which they want to get a job. The project must be about 3 months in duration and of significant technical difficulty. Learners will also contribute to open source projects.
Agile Freelancing and Open Source Projects: The outcome of the final project module is intended to be a submission of a freelance project along with a written report and a presentation that will satisfy the assessment criteria. It is aimed to ensure that you progress towards your project with high expectations of a successful outcome and thus planning is a crucial part of your process
