Software systems are at the heart of all aspects of daily life, including commerce, industry, healthcare and communication. With organisations of all sizes seeking talented professionals to create software systems that are usable, robust and maintainable, now is a great time to study a software engineering.

Professionally-accredited curriculum

Designed to fill an emerging global skills gap, our fast-growing course will take your interest in computer science, and enhance it with a specialist cyber focus. Accredited by the BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, the course will build your understanding of the inner workings of programmes, operating systems and networks, so you understand how cyber-attacks happen. 

Build in-demand skills 

By completing specially-designed projects, you will develop the ability to think conceptually, and cultivate independent technical judgement, as you prepare for future security-related roles. We’ll ensure you adopt a professional approach, making you aware of laws, regulations and competences needed to work with other IT professionals.

Software applications are embedded in all aspects of daily life, including commerce, industry, healthcare and communication, and the pace of innovation is rapid. Organisations of all sizes need talented people who can create software systems that are usable, robust and can bring operational gains.

As a software engineering graduate you will be well equipped to work in a wide range of roles, such as software engineering, systems analyst, programming, system administration or computer analyst. Previous course graduates secured roles with major companies such as BNFL, British Aerospace, PricewaterhouseCooper, IBM, ICI, ICL and Riva Software International.
