Graduate Enrique Lacal Computer Science BSc (Hons) During my placement I picked up an enormous amount of technical knowledge, but I believe that the soft skills I acquired are even more important. By working in a team on a day-to-day basis, I increased my team-working, communication and presentation skills which were crucial during my final year.
Graduate Emma Jeyarajah Computer Science BSc (Hons) Self-learning is a key skill in growing as a developer and the Final Year Project develops your ability to work independently and produce a result which you then present at a professional standard – which is very similar to how a product is delivered.
Graduate Daniel Cook Computer Science BSc (Hons) The broad scope of my role on placement... showed me that I like to be involved with different stages of development on a number of projects. For this reason, I accepted the role of software engineer with my placement company after graduation.
