The Introduction Post

Hello. In this post I am going to tell you more about the University I have chosen.


In 2022, so this year, I took up Software Engineering course at De Montfort University.

I have chosen this university as It is located in the city I live, but that is not the only reason, because there is another university in Leicester. The main reason was the variety of courses it offers and fact that one of my friends is a student at this university and really recommends it.

The Software Engineering course lasts 3 years, with an optional placement year.
There is a dozen of modules, which are:

Year one:

  • Database Design and Implementation
  • Fundamental Concepts of Computer Science
  • Computer Programming
  • Operating Systems and Networks

Year two:

  • Object Oriented Design and Development
  • Data Structures and Algorithms
  • Web Application Development
  • Team Project

Year three (Project Development Year):

  • Software Development: Methods and Standards
  • Mobile App Development and Big Data
  • To be chosen by student from these below
  1. Functional Programming
  2. Advanced Web Development
  3. Embedded Systems and IoT
I am mostly interested in the 'Computer Programming' and 'Functional Programming' modules, as they will be key in my future goal of working as a Software Engineer.

I think that my journey at DMU will help me gain the necessary skills to become a successful Programmer, and I am hoping to see myself there in 10 years time.

  This is the main window inside Python software. On the top left corner you can see the name of the file along with ' .py ' which is python's files extension. Next to it, a file path is located (describes where the file is locate within the hard drive) Below you can see a tab with a few options such as file, edit, format, run, options, window and help. This is an example of python's code. As you can see, certain words have particular colours. For example, orange means that python recognizes a keyword. purple means an in-built function is triggered. Colour green means that a message will be displayed to the user. The numbers on the left tell you which line the code is written in. The number in the bottom right corner followed by "Ln:" informs the python's user of the amount of lines written in current file.
