Course Overview

There is a significant skills gap in the software engineering sector, with the Tech Partnership reporting that 85% of hard-to-fill positions are difficult to recruit because of a lack of specialist skills. Our Software Engineering degree will develop employable graduates with experience in practical skills highly sought after by the industry, including programming in C, C++, Java, Lua, Python, C# and low-level languages, such as x86 and ARM. Modern society could not function without large software systems. National utilities and infrastructure, energy, communications, health, business and transport all rely on complex and large applications. With the increasing complexity of these software systems comes a growing difficulty in building and delivering a correct and robust solution to customers on time and within budget. Such software cannot be produced successfully, safely and efficiently without following some constraining and managing processes. This is the domain of the software engineer.
