³Ô¹Ïtv

MSc Software DevelopmentFrances Grant

What were your reasons for taking on a postgraduate degree?

I had completed my undergraduate in Architecture and I was looking to change careers to Software Development. A conversion masters felt like the best way to complete the transition and would give me the confidence to take on a job in a technical role.

How did you make the decision to study at ³Ô¹Ïtv? 

I knew I wanted to study at a university with strong industry links. I made the decision to study at ³Ô¹Ïtv as I was aware of their strong industry links within Glasgow and that their research was industry focussed.

What do you like about your course and ³Ô¹Ïtv?

I like that my course covers a wide range of programming languages and projects which has made me feel more prepared for going into industry. 

What specialist knowledge/professional skills have you developed whilst studying the course?

The course has focused on both the practical and theoretical aspects of software development. I feel confident both in the development of applications, and management of developing practices as a result of this.

What are your ambitions for the future and how do you think your time at ³Ô¹Ïtv will help you achieve your goals?

My ambitions for the near future are to continue learning as much as possible in my first software-developing role and to work on projects that are impactful. I am looking forward to using ³Ô¹Ïtv’s strong alumni network to support this ambition as I transition from education to industry.
