Ericsson Masters in Applied Software Engineering
Free Masters with a permanent job in software engineering!
LM Ericsson, in association with Technology Ireland, is offering a free, one-year, full-time Masters in Applied Software Engineering, delivered by Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), Athlone Campus.
This course is free to participants, includes a three-month paid internship and a full-time permanent job as a software engineer on satisfactory completion.
The Masters in Applied Software Engineering offers an integrated approach to delivering end-to-end software development skills. From computing fundamentals and software design, to implementation and testing, the entire lifecycle of software development is covered. The programme focuses on the practical problem-solving skills required for software engineering. Participants will also gain critical knowledge of the skills and technologies required in ICT product development.
Candidates will undertake a course in advance of commencing the Masters to prepare and qualify them in the range of subject areas to be covered on the Masters programme. This course will lead to a Certificate in Software Engineering (Level 8) and is a pre-requisite for participation in the Masters programme.
Participants will not be entitled to retain any social welfare payments while attending the course as Ericsson is funding a Bursary to assist participants with expenses.
