The Software Design and Development Stage 6 course provides students with the opportunity to develop technical skills in designing and developing software solutions, project management and communication.

This subject has an inherently technical nature. Understanding concepts related to the development of software using modern programming languages in a professional context and enhancing problem-solving capabilities of students are the driving priority which our tutors instil to students.

Tutoring this subject is tailored towards inspiring students to use new technical skills to develop creative and practical solutions to problems including; logical challenges, computer programs and computer games. Our tutors understand the priority of teaching students to develop programs whilst following industry standards in a range of software development approaches. We set students up for a potential career in the computer science sector, with the academic achievements to match.

A student successful in Software Design and Development is one who enjoys problem-solving, has a high attention to detail and is strong with logic-based concepts. Our tutors assist students with strategies such as computational thinking and scaffolded programming challenges to maximise learning in this subject.
