Software Engineering Education

Software Engineering is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the development of software systems—principles of design, analysis, and management—with the aim of:

  • developing software that meets its requirements, even when these requirements change;
  • completing the development on time, and within budget;
  • producing something of lasting value—easy to maintain, re-use, and re-deploy.

The Software Engineering Programme teaches the principles of modern software engineering, together with the tools, methods, and techniques that support their application.

It offers working professionals the opportunity to learn more about the technological advances that are changing their lives, through a course of part-time study at one of the world's leading universities.
