BEng Software Engineering
About this course
BEng in Software Engineering, a software engineering degree focusing on the design, construction, and security of modern digital systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Computer Architecture, Data Analysis, Research Methods, Project Management, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Ethics & Professional Practice, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Design & Creative Practice, and Global & Comparative Perspective. The curriculum is aligned with British Computer Society, IEEE, and ACM professional requirements, and includes an optional placement year. The first year introduces computational thinking, computer systems, and application development through modules such as Technology Projects, Software Development, Software Applications, and Mathematics and Algorithms. The second year advances into systems infrastructure and complex software implementation with modules including Networks and Operating Systems, Software Modelling, Software Engineering, and Software Architecture and Design. The final year covers cloud environments, emerging technologies, and security considerations via modules such as Cloud and Data Engineering, Professional Practice in Technology, and AI and Secure Software Development. Students conclude their studies by completing the Capstone Project, allowing independent exploration of a specialised topic.
