Overview

Software engineering drives the fundamental technologies of todays connected world. Take the opportunity to develop the skills to create the next generation of software systems.

Engineering high quality, secure and reliable software systems has never been so challenging. The modern world is driven by an astonishing variety of interconnected software, from phone apps to systems that control critical utilities and infrastructure.

Our distinctive BEng Software Engineering programme will develop your skills in programming, software design, analysis, quality assurance, and project management and you will study a range of specialist modules such as:

critical systems
web development
advanced databases
scripting languages

You will also have the opportunity to work on an individual project to take a piece of software from development to implementation and evaluation. Major employers worldwide are keen to employ our graduates in system development, information technology and communications in the IT sector, and in the finance, service, communications and entertainment industries.

We have strong relationships with employers, and our graduates are particularly in demand for their understanding of organisations and their practical abilities in the workplace. We have our own Careers Hub website and run an annual careers fair.
