About this course

Develop in-demand software development skills. Design, build and maintain computer systems to tackle society’s software engineering challenges. Develop in-demand software development skills.

Design, build and maintain computer systems to tackle society’s software engineering challenges. There is a demand for skilled software engineers who can design, build and maintain computer systems. Our Software Engineering BSc will give you the skills needed to meet this demand.

This course is for anyone pursuing computer science or IT degrees who wants to specialise in software development. The course is also a good choice if you have a strong interest in problem-solving, but it does not matter if you are a beginner with basic coding knowledge. Beyond technical skills, you will enhance your problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, teamwork and ability to present your ideas.

We emphasise practical application, so you'll work on real-world projects that simulate industry scenarios. You’ll graduate with the knowledge and hands-on experience to tackle diverse software engineering challenges.
