BSc (Hons) Software Engineering

​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: This degree has been accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by BCS. An accredited degree entitles you to professional membership of BCS, which is an important part of the criteria for achieving Chartered IT Professional (CITP) status through the Institute. Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
