Our Software Engineering degree has a high employability focus to prepare you for industry. Throughout the course you will learn a mixture of vocational skills such as C# programming and project management, alongside fundamental theory in areas such as algorithms and mathematics. This is complemented by an optional year-long placement in industry, alongside other opportunities to build software for industrial clients.

At the beginning of the course you will gain practical experience of software development using object-oriented programming, as well as an understanding of how software systems are used in businesses, and methods to build effective user interfaces. You are then taught key methods of software engineering used in industry, while expanding your knowledge of areas such as databases and operating systems.

The later years of the course focus on the key skills required by industry, such as project management, secure software development, and techniques to facilitate software evolution. You will also gain experience of emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, and software engineering for safety critical systems. At this stage you will be able to design and develop large-scale software systems, and be able to choose appropriate methodologies to do so.

On completion of the course you will be able to work effectively with today’s technologies, and to readily learn new technologies that emerge throughout your career.
