Software Engineering BSc(Hons)/MEng
Your course
Software engineering is all about finding practical solutions to real problems. Employers will want you to be able to produce software that is robust, reliable and attractive to use – all at a reasonable cost and to a certain timeframe. This course aims to give you an understanding of what’s possible, and where your skills could take you.
You’ll have the chance to explore contemporary methods and techniques in software development. We’ll also encourage you to develop the flexibility and adaptability needed for a long-term career.
In your third year you’ll have the opportunity to take a placement year, putting into practice the techniques you’ve learnt.
This course shares a common first year with our computing and computer science courses. That means you have the flexibility to transfer if you find one area interests you more than others, if you achieve the right marks.
Example modules
• Software Design and Development • Operating Systems • Large Scale Software Engineering • Object-Oriented Systems Development
