BSc (Hons) Software Engineering with Placement Year

Study a software engineering degree with us and youll build the essential skills you need to work with software systems opening the door to a range of career opportunities. Youll cover all aspects of the software engineering process, with a focus on the methodical approach to robust, error-free software design and development.

In your first year, youll start with the core principles of computer architecture, databases, web design and programming. Youll then begin to specialise, with areas of study like software design and development processes, full-stack web development and advanced programming.

As you progress, youll develop knowledge of cloud computing, full-stack web development, software testing, as well as advanced development skills in a range of programming languages. Youll also tackle team-based projects and a large-scale software project in your final year. This will help you to build vital project management skills, as well as giving you a sound understanding of the role of software development tools within the software life cycle.

Our BSc (Hons) Software Engineering, BSc (Hons) Computer Science and BSc (Hons) Applied Computing degrees share a common first year, allowing you to switch between these courses at the end of your first year.

This course is available with a foundation year.
