Software Engineering (3 Years or 4 Years including Foundation)
Course Summary
Our Software Engineering degree course covers the theory and practice of modern software engineering, including the tools, technologies and methods used in this field. During the course, you will expand your knowledge and expertise in the design, development and delivery of software for modern environments and platforms, and will develop an appreciation of software carpentry and ‘codemanship’: creating useful and usable software artefacts.
In year 1, you will cover essential computing concepts, which are shared with our BSc (Hons) Computer Science course. In later years, the course will focus on the design and development of software for particular applications, and will examine architectural paradigms such as parallel and distributed computing.
You will have the option of broadening your studies to include topics such as web technology, networks, digital and cyber security, or computer graphics, to be prepared for a varied career in applied software engineering. As such, you can graduate with a named award in:
•BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (Web Technology)
•BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (Augmented & Virtual Reality)
•BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (Network Security)
•BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (Data Security)
