University of Chichester | Software Engineering

I started a degree in Digital and Technology Solutions (Software Engineering) but after 1 year did not feel that this was the course for me. I was not enjoying the style of learning and wanted to focus on more practical methods. Instead I have chosen to do some more specific courses in areas of interest to supplement my skills in the workplace.
