Students in "STEM" fields, computer science/software engineering, or experienced testers are welcome to take this course. This conversion course is designed to provide them with a pathway to one of the most in-demand careers in software quality engineering. This program focuses on business systems analysis and enterprise software development, supporting the entire business systems lifecycle.

An enterprise developer designs, builds, implements, and maintains applications and systems for use within an organization rather than for consumer use. Business operations often use these technologies to perform specific tasks. Business users' needs are taken into account when configuring technologies, and stakeholders are frequently involved in planning and implementation. Technical support and maintenance may also be provided by them.

The MSc Enterprise Software Development programme at the College provides students with a comprehensive understanding of enterprise software development. The programme covers topics such as software engineering, database design, web and mobile development, user experience and interface design, system integration and cloud computing. Students will gain an in-depth knowledge of software architecture and design, programming languages, distributed and cloud computing, and data analytics, as well as hands-on experience with enterprise software development and deployment. Upon successful completion of the programme, students will have the skills and knowledge to work as software developers and software architects in enterprise organisations.

	FullName	Duration	Location	Asynchronous learning	Synchronous learning
1	Full-time blended Ideal for students who can fully commit to weekly classes (in-person or remotely) and willing to immerse in full-time education.	12 months Students can begin in any of our standard semesters, on the first of February, June or October, and complete the programme in 3 consecutive semesters, studying 60 credits per semester.	On-campus or online. All modules delivered at LSI will allow remote attendance in order to promote flexibility, access, and participation.	Our advanced, AI-enhanced online learning platform elevates student engagement. It features the Interactive Knowledge Graph (IKG) for efficient, engaging knowledge attainment, alongside AI-guided activities like quizzes, discussions, Q&A, and immediate feedback on practical tasks, supplementing synchronous classes.	Rather than conventional lectures, our academic staff and subject-matter experts focus on interactive methods in live classes, facilitating problem-solving, role-play, case studies, discussions, and teamwork. Students attend these weekly sessions to engage in structured social learning. Our hybrid approach blends the convenience of digital resources with the motivation of human interaction.
2	Part-time blended Ideal for students busy with work/life commitments, but who can commit to weekly classes (in-person or remotely).	24 months Students can begin in any of our standard semesters, on the first of February, June or October, and complete the programme within 2 years. Per semester, they typically study 30 credits. Each taken module should begin and end within the same semester, except the final project, which can be stretched across two.	On-campus or online.
