Computer Science (Software Engineering)

Summary

On this software engineering degree you will learn the discipline that applies professional engineering techniques to the construction and evolution of large and complex software systems. In the first two years there is an emphasis on software development, professional programming, the modelling and design of systems and data, the principles of networking and the user experience. Building on this foundation you’ll study software engineering in depth and learn how to analyse, design, develop and evaluate computer-based systems. You’ll also learn the application of engineering techniques, such as those relying on software metrics. Industry-informed teaching and practical projects prepare you for roles in cyber security, network engineering, and IT consultancy.

This course gives you a firm foundation for a career as a systems designer, software engineer or project manager. The specialism in software engineering, coupled with your broad knowledge of computer science in general, will really make your degree stand out. Recent graduates have gone on to become software engineers at Amazon and many other world-class organisations. Others have gone on to postgraduate study.
