Department of Computer Science

Software Engineering

INTRODUCTION

Our Software Engineering degree aims to produce industry-ready graduates who have the knowledge, skills and experience to succeed. Our course structure encourages you to unleash your creative side by designing and prototyping user interfaces as well as sharpen your problem solving and analytical skills by writing code to develop software for multiple platforms. We harness current industry software tools and teach the latest techniques in software testing, deployment and overall management of projects. In parallel to studying these topics we aim for you to put these skills into practice by contributing to live projects and work placements throughout the programme.

The aims and objectives of bachelors honours degree programme in computer science should include:

  • Create in students the awareness of and enthusiasm for computer science and its capabilities.
  • Involve the students in an intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying
  • Provide a broad and balanced foundation in computer science knowledge and practical skills.
  • Develop in  students  through  an  education  in  computer  science  a  range  of transferable applicable skills of information technology to all aspects of human endeavours.
  • Generate in students an appreciation of the importance of computer in an industrial, economic, technological and social context.
  • Provide students with knowledge and skills base for further studies in computer science or multi-disciplinary studies involving computer science.
