Origin Story

GUSS began as a University of Glasgow Computing Science undergraduate final year project by Omar Tufayl, supervised by Tim Storer and advised by Jill Dykes. An extensive study was made of software engineering research literature related to evaluating and bridging the gap between academic learning for software engineers and real-world requirements of industry. 

An opportunity to augment students learning and experience of designing, building, deploying and maintaining software systems through real-world projects was implemented with the first few projects for GUSS being managed and successfully delivered by Omar and teams of student software engineers. GUSS has gone from strength to strength ever since and continues to provide students with much needed hands-on skills before entering the world of work, having already successfully navigated many of the complexities of delivering software.
