Additional Programme Cost

Strongly recommended: A laptop is very essential.
To ensure academic success, we strongly recommend that students obtain their own copies of the core textbooks for the courses they are enrolled in. Failure to do so may place students at a disadvantage in their studies. The number of required textbooks and associated costs will vary based on the number of courses selected for a given semester.

Living Cost

Living costs for the academic year commencing in 2023 are estimated to range from N60,000 to N350,000 for each academic session you spend at Anchor. Our academic session consists of two semesters, so typically, you would be in Anchor for approximately ten months per year. However, it is advisable to budget for a eleven-month period to ensure you have enough funds during holidays to cover essential expenses.

The cost of meals during the academic session will be on a pay-as-you-eat basis.

Careers

Software engineering is a broad field with numerous career opportunities.

Here are some popular careers in software engineering:

Software Developer/Engineer: This role involves designing, coding, and testing software applications. Software developers work across various domains and programming languages to create software solutions.

Front-End Developer: Front-end developers focus on designing and implementing user interfaces (UI) for web applications. They work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create visually appealing and interactive user experiences.

Back-End Developer: Back-end developers deal with server-side programming and database management. They build the logic and functionality that powers web applications, working with programming languages like Java, Python, or Ruby, as well as frameworks and technologies like Node.js, Django, or Ruby on Rails.

Full-Stack Developer: Full-stack developers have proficiency in both front-end and back-end development. They can handle the entire software development process, from designing the user interface to managing the server-side code.

Mobile App Developer: Mobile app developers specialize in creating applications for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. They often work with platforms like iOS (using Swift or Objective-C) or Android (using Java or Kotlin).

DevOps Engineer: DevOps engineers bridge the gap between software development and operations. They focus on automating the software delivery pipeline, ensuring smooth deployment, monitoring, and scalability of applications.

Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer: QA engineers are responsible for testing software and ensuring its quality and reliability. They design test plans, execute tests, report and track bugs, and work closely with developers to address any issues.

Data Scientist: Data scientists analyze and interpret complex data sets to derive meaningful insights. They use statistical techniques, machine learning algorithms, and programming skills to uncover patterns and trends that can drive business decisions.

Machine Learning Engineer: Machine learning engineers develop and deploy machine learning models to solve specific problems. They work with large datasets, design and train models, and optimize them for performance.

Software Architect: Software architects are responsible for designing the overall structure and high-level components of software systems. They define the technical vision, make design decisions, and ensure the system's scalability, security, and maintainability.

It's important to explore different areas and technologies to find your interests and strengths within the field.
