Computer Science (Software Engineering) BEng

Our Computer Science (Software Engineering) BEng programme is a great choice for students who are passionate about software engineering and want to develop the skills to design, build, and test software systems.

You'll gain a solid foundation in the fundamentals of software engineering, as well as the opportunity to explore different areas of computer science ranging from artificial intelligence and robotics to cybersecurity.

This course has a strong focus on professional skills to ensure you are well equipped for a career after graduating. You will develop your communication skills and be able to think critically, whilst analysing the impact of your work in a real-world context. These are essential for a career in industry or research, and demonstrate the well-rounded education our programme will provide you. 

Core modules in years one and two will provide you with the foundations of computer science, while in the final year a range of optional modules will allow you to tailor your studies to your own interests. These include topics such as software re-engineering, cybersecurity, and software for mobile devices.

On top of these specialised modules, the focus of your final year is a dissertation project, where you will have scope for creative and intellectual exploration through a year-long individual project, guided by one of your lecturers.

This course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). It fully meets the requirements for Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and partially meets the requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng).
