David Arnott tells us how he found the BSc in Software Systems Development enjoyable and it brought him many opportunities
"I have really enjoyed my course in Software Systems Development and my study at SETU.
The course is very enjoyable, with varied subjects that give you a feel for different aspects of a computing career, such as programming, web design and database management to name but a few. This can really help students to explore potential career paths.
The lecturers are very accommodating and go out of their way to help you and to ensure that you get the most out of your course.
The option to go on work experience in the fifth semester, or to study abroad in another college or university in Europe, is an excellent opportunity and very beneficial to students. I will be spending my next semester studying in a University in Prague and I am really looking forward to this opportunity to experience the culture of a different country and to broaden my learning experience.
The lecturers, students and staff of SETU are very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere around the college is always a positive one. I have just finished the second year of my course, and I am already looking forward to the third."
