Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Software Engineering (G600)

On successful completion of this programme students will have the knowledge, understanding and skills to gain graduate-level employment in a wide range of private and public sector organisations. Recent graduates from the Software Engineering course have found employment as software engineers (developer, designer, tester and maintainer), software support analysts, project managers and trainee IT consultants; and several have gained entry to prestigious management trainee programmes with large employers. At the start of the course students will gain familiarity and understanding of the gathering, storage, retrieval and analysis of information. This then leads on to how to identify problems and formulate solutions to the gathering, storage, retrieval and analysis of complex information As they progress, students will develop a critical understanding of the analysis, design, development, testing, evaluation and modification of reliable, maintainable and high quality software including real-time, mobile and large scale enterprise systems In year four, students will develop a familiarity and understanding of a range of theoretical and methodological approaches to the design of effective interactive systems. At this stage they will learn to select and evaluate hardware and software to facilitate the design and implementation of software systems including the interfacing between the two.
