IAP Academic Partners & Student Membership.

As a specialist professional body in the software development field, the IAP believe that well-designed software has a positive impact on industry, our communities and future. We feel it’s important to connect with academia in order to offer support to students who are studying for and planning a career in software and computer sciences – the IAP welcome student members. In order to raise awareness of the wealth of training excellence throughout the UK we thought we’d take a closer look at several top universities, starting with the University of Plymouth.

Focus On: UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH

The University of Plymouth offer a comprehensive range of computer science undergraduate courses and post-graduate programmes, in software engineering, artificial intelligence, games development or cyber security. Alongside this they offer great work experience opportunities and have a high graduate employment rate. To find out more go to: www.plymouth.ac.uk/subjects/computer-science. Their core principles are:

– striving for the highest quality in everything they do.

– working, planning for and delivering a shared vision, underpinned by a strong sense of collegiality.

– building an institutional reputation through confidence in their pioneering contributions, excellence in education and research, socio-economic impact, and thought leadership.

– sustainability in finances, reputation, services, partnerships, environmental performance and global contribution.

IAP Software Development Prize

Our academic partner universities submit student candidates for the IAP’s annual Best Software Development Prize. The University of Plymouth have an excellent track record of winners: www.iap.org.uk/iap-software-development-prizewinners.
