With a degree in Software Engineering, you could be involved in finding solutions to some of the challenges society faces today, from climate change to transportation or clean water and sanitation. As industries develop, the possibilities, and requirements of software engineering change rapidly too. Our course aims to give you an understanding of what's possible, where your skills could take you, enhance your career prospects and lead to careers with vast earning potential, allowing you to create the life you want in the future. The top five job titles advertised in the UK for graduate roles associated with Software Engineering courses are Software Engineer, Software Developer, DevOps Engineer, .NET Developer and Java Developer.*

 

An advanced subject, the course will see you write software which involves computer science and mathematical concepts. Sharing a common first year with other courses (Computing Bsc (Hons), Computer Science BSc (Hons) and Software Engineering MEng), this course offers the flexibility to transfer from one course to another during your first year. This allows you to tailor your studies if you find you have an interest in a specific subject area.
