What will I learn?

This degree provides a firm foundation in the essential field of software engineering.
You study a broad curriculum in your first two years, developing knowledge in different aspects of computing science, and gaining skills in problem solving, program design and implementation.
In your third year, you move onto specialist topics in software engineering, developing skills and knowledge for your future career.
Your modules focus on the design and development of embedded software systems, and include: software verification systems
real-time and cyber-physical systems

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.
