About

The BSc Software Engineering degree programme enables students to develop and apply a range of industry essential analytical and problem-solving techniques to facilitate real-world computer software development scenarios.

Students build the required academic underpinnings, interpersonal skills and professional software engineer practitioner capabilities via the use of many simulated case-studies in a very practical learning strategy.

Through their learning journey, students will study modern software engineering elicitation, analysis, specification, design, programming, testing and software evaluation theories and will devise solutions to real and simulated industry problems. BSc Software Engineering students will have the opportunity to have a hands-on approach with a variety of modern software development tools, languages and development environments.

Highlights

Software is an integral part of people's daily lives and it continues to grow and evolve. All modern systems such as phones, laptops, tablets, driverless cars, drones and so on are driven by software. All the software for these systems is built using program code. To enable our students to become effective software engineers, the course includes the following highlights:

A wide range of taught approaches to coding and state of the art software development including. UML, Java, C++, JavaScript, PHP, Android, Oracle and programming development environments such as Eclipse. Our specialist BSc Software Engineering course will cover a selection of these technologies and give you opportunities to learn others in individual project work.
Exposure to a wide variety of implementation strategies and vehicles including, mobile applications, web-based solutions, database driven applications, solutions based around or including artificial intelligence components and approaches to effective interface design. As such, successful candidates have a wide range of potential career opportunities within the field with a degree in software development.
Links with industry and research that directly impact the course syllabus and teaching. All of the academics teaching on the course are either research active in relevant software engineering fields and/or have extensive links with industry. Using a combination of their contemporary research and industry networks, their teaching is dynamically influenced to give our students an up-to-date, industry relevant experience.
