Software engineering is a young, challenging discipline that is still evolving as information technologies continue to open up new areas of exploration and potential. Engineers mix the theory and practice of computer science, engineering and traditional IT disciplines to create software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines.

 

This course explores the design, construction and engineering of large, complex software systems that meet information processing challenges within constraints such as cost, time and risk management.

 

Career Prospectus

 

The Bachelor of Software Engineering (BSE) is intended to produce quality, world-class graduates in this rapidly developing discipline. The degree has been specially designed in response to industry demand to produce graduate software engineers with large-scale software systems project capability. Graduates who can offer skills in these areas are in demand by business and government organisations concerned with software development on a large scale. Such skills are equally important to small projects and businesses, providing software engineering and integration services to government or large private organisations.

 

Graduates will be prepared for careers across all industries as applications developers, internet developers, programming specialists, systems programmers, and software designers, engineers, architects, consultants and developers.
