You will study a broad curriculum for two years, before learning about the development of embedded software systems that are fundamental to almost all our use of technology.
Explore different aspects of computing science – such as games design, bioinformatics, and security – in your first two years.
Spend a year on an accredited, paid industrial placement between Stages 2 and 3.
Study specialist modules in Stage 3 – such as software verification technology and real-time and cyber-physical systems – to develop skills and knowledge for your chosen career.
About Software Engineering
Reliable software is fundamental to almost all of our use of technology, from the embedded systems that make a washing machine work to the flight controllers on a passenger jet.
Working alongside programmers who have in-depth knowledge of writing code, software engineers understand and oversee the development of these systems, requiring strong computing science, project management and problem-solving skills.
