About this course
Our BSc Software Engineering degree has common modules with our computer science degrees, but is tailored to focus more on the design and implementation of large software systems – particularly those with interactive or multimedia components. It is built around four themes: the design and implementation of software systems; the use and development of networked and distributed systems; user interface principles; and evaluation and testing. If you enjoy building things, and want to learn to construct software systems – including the consideration of people as well as machines – then this programme is a good option. You will gain general knowledge and understanding of computer and software systems; specialised knowledge of the design, implementation, user interfaces and evaluation of software systems; experience in using a variety of problems encountered in the area of software engineering; and an understanding of the professional, legal and ethical aspects of the discipline.
