This is a one year, full time course which broadens and deepens students' knowledge of modern software engineering tools and methodologies.
Students also undertake at least one large project subject as part of the course.
One subject involves the student in a large software development team, providing invaluable preparation for entering many sectors of the computer industry. The other subject requires the student to complete a research project in a software engineering related area, providing invaluable preparation for a postgraduate research degree in software engineering. It will also be attractive as a conversion course for graduates of engineering courses with a strong computing component. The course is one year full time. Part time study will be approved only in exceptional circumstances.
