Since then the institution has a long and distinguished history of providing quality education and was granted degree awarding powers in 1990, achieving university status in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Today, University of Bolton is ranked 30<sup>th<\/sup> in the UK by the Guardian (2024) and number 1 in the North West for Student Satisfaction by the Complete University Guide. Located in Greater Manchester, the university boasts a modern and international campus with approximately 6,000 undergraduate students<\/p>\n                              <\/div> <!-- \/ FAQ Cont -->\r\n            <\/li>\r\n                      <li>\r\n              <div class=\"accordion_btn\"> <!-- FAQ Btn -->\r\n                <a class=\"accordion-list__block-title\"  href=\"#\">\r\n                  <div class=\"button_border\" ><\/div>\r\n                  <div class=\"accordion_icon\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n                  Overview                 <\/a>\r\n              <\/div> <!-- \/ FAQ Btn -->\r\n              <div class=\"accordion-cont\"> <!-- FAQ Cont -->\r\n                                  <p>The BEng (Hons) Software Engineering top-up is delivered online by Western International College Online (WINC) with the final degree awarded by the University of Bolton.<\/p>\n<p>The programme has been designed collaboratively working with industrial partners to ensure that students study a comprehensive program of relevant industrial topics. Many graduates find successful careers in software engineering. The syllabus has an emphasis on real world experience which is informed by the latest research and global practices.<\/p>\n<p>Coursework throughout the course utilises realistic scenarios intended to prepare students for their career after university. This applies both to the technical areas studied, but also the output required from the student such as technical proposals or reports to management.<\/p>\n<p>A large amount of the coursework undertaken by students on this course is project based and involves group working. The ability to work successfully and productively in teams is an essential element of modern software engineering.<\/p>\n<p>It will enable students to develop skills such as advanced IT skills, analytical skills, communication, project management and organisation &#8211; all essential for the workplace. Regardless of the industry students intend to pursue careers in, the BEng (Hons) Software Engineering top-up degree will provide graduates with the necessary skills to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>Full time: 1 year (2 semesters)<\/p>\n<p>Part time: 2-3 years<\/p>\n                              <\/div> <!-- \/ FAQ Cont -->\r\n            <\/li>\r\n                      <li>\r\n              <div class=\"accordion_btn\"> <!-- FAQ Btn -->\r\n                <a class=\"accordion-list__block-title\"  href=\"#\">\r\n                  <div class=\"button_border\" ><\/div>\r\n                  <div class=\"accordion_icon\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n                  Entry Requirements                 <\/a>\r\n              <\/div> <!-- \/ FAQ Btn -->\r\n              <div class=\"accordion-cont\"> <!-- FAQ Cont -->\r\n                                  <ul>\n<li>NCC Education <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccedu.com\/qualifications\/diplomas\/ncc-education-level-4-diploma-in-computing-l4dc\/\">Level 4<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccedu.com\/qualifications\/diplomas\/ncc-education-level-5-diploma-in-computing-l5dc\/\">Level 5<\/a> Diploma in Computing<\/li>\n<li>ATHE Level 5 Extended Diploma in Computing (Software Engineering)<\/li>\n<li>Qualifi Level 4 and 5 Diploma in Information Technology<\/li>\n<li>Pearson BTEC HND in Computing (Software Engineering)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Applicants who have successfully completed 2 years of study at a university can also be considered for direct entry with advanced standing.<\/p>\n<p>Other equivalent qualifications may be accepted for entry to this programme, subject to consideration by WINC Online and the University of Greater Manchester.<\/p>\n                              <\/div> <!-- \/ FAQ Cont -->\r\n            <\/li>\r\n                      <li>\r\n              <div class=\"accordion_btn\"> <!-- FAQ Btn -->\r\n                <a class=\"accordion-list__block-title\"  href=\"#\">\r\n                  <div class=\"button_border\" ><\/div>\r\n                  <div class=\"accordion_icon\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n                  How Students Study                <\/a>\r\n              <\/div> <!-- \/ FAQ Btn -->\r\n              <div class=\"accordion-cont\"> <!-- FAQ Cont -->\r\n                                  <p>Units comprise of weekly video lectures, tutorial exercises, discussion forums and live chat sessions with subject experts which will be accessed through WINC Virtual Learning Environment.
