BEng Software Engineering with Digital Technology Partnership
Last year QUB launched a new higher level degree apprenticeship in partnership with the Department for the Economy and PricewaterhouseCoopers and they are now in the process of recruiting potential students for entry in September 2019. This degree combines university study with employment from day one – apprentices are not only paid a salary but have no fees to pay either.
Unsurprisingly this programme was in high demand last year and QUB had over 160 applicants attend assessment centres for the 20 places. For 2019 entry they are hoping to expand the number of places available.
One key point to note is that any applications to the BEng Software Engineering with Digital Technology Partnership that are unsuccessful will automatically be considered for entry to the normal BEng Software Engineering degree.
There are some web links below to more information about the degree and QUB will be holding an information evening which prospective applicants and their families are welcome to register and attend. This will be:
Monday 19th November 2018 starting at 18:00 with the presentations starting at 18:30 in the Computer Science Building, 18 Malone Road, Belfast, BT9 5BN
Registration is free and there will be an opportunity to hear about the programme as well as ask questions in the auditorium or one-to-one with staff, businesses, and current apprentices themselves.
You can register for the event via Eventbrite here: http://go.qub.ac.uk/sedtp2018

Beginning of School Year Mass and New Build Celebrations - September 2018
|
St. Patrick's Academy is celebrating their beginning of year Mass on Thursday 27 September at 10.00am in St. Patrick's Church, Lisburn. Parents who wish to attend the Mass are welcome to join us.
Following the mass, we will be marking the start of a historic year at St. Patrick's Academy with a bumper harvest of fun activities for all students. The school will be a hive of activity as we acknowledge the patience of our students who endured 2 years of building work and disruption due to the construction of the NEWBUILD - SCHOOL ENHANCEMENT PROJECT. Students will have the opportunity to sample an array of activities and enjoy a tasty barbeque as we celebrate the completion of our long awaited New Build and the start of another exciting year. |
