Software Engineering MSc: Links with business and industry

Our links with industry provide a practical base for our courses. They also help us to ensure your studies are kept up to date and relevant to the workplace.

We regularly review our courses to make sure that they meet professional and industry needs, both in terms of curriculum and teaching practices.

To ensure input from the major stakeholders, we have set up an advisory panel, including senior academics and senior industry representatives. It takes a strategic role, advising on taught courses and our research portfolio.

The Faculty is also a long-time member of the British Computer Society (BCS). For many years we have hosted meetings of the local BCS Kingston and Croydon Branch, contributing to members' continuing professional development programmes.

Modules often feature guest speakers from industry and in recent years students' project dissertations have been hosted by such companies as:

• the Steel Construction Institute;
• Royal Botanical Gardens (Kew)
• ITV;
• ANS Ltd; and
• The Camden Society.
