Software Engineering University of Sussex

Overview

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.

On this course you will learn:

• multiple programming languages
• how to design, build, and maintain complex software systems
• web and mobile development, database management, and software testing
• development methodologies, version control, and project management.

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.

We have connections with regional, national and global employers who promote their internship, placement and graduate vacancies on our student jobs board, attend our recruiter events, and/or host internships through our award-winning Career Lab Programme.

The Department of Informatics at Sussex has a long history of innovation in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. You will be taught by enthusiastic, research-active academics. You will also join a thriving student community with computing-related societies and regular student events such as game jams and hackathons.
