2-Term Undergraduate Foundation Pathway in Computer Science - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science (Software Engineering)

HIC offers University Foundation Studies for candidates who do not meet the direct entry criteria or hold high school qualifications that are not recognised. Upon successful completion of the pathway programme students will progress onto the University of Hertfordshire. Software engineering is a discipline that applies professional engineering techniques to the construction and evolution of large and complex software systems. This course adds a specialism in software engineering to a broad base in computer science. In the first two years there is an emphasis on software development, professional programming, the modelling and design of systems and data, the principles of networking and the user experience. Building on this foundation students will study software engineering in depth and learn how to analyse, design, develop and evaluate computer-based systems. They'll also learn the application of engineering techniques, such as those relying on software metrics.
