Computer Science (Software Engineering) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
Course Overview - Computer Science (Software Engineering) Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
As a software engineer, you’ll oversee the development of reliable software systems in modern technology.
Reliable software is essential to modern technology, from the embedded systems that make a washing machine work to the flight controllers on a passenger jet.
In this course, we’ll focus on the design and development of embedded software systems, including:
* software verification systems
* real-time and cyber-physical systems

As a software engineer, you’ll oversee the development of reliable software systems in modern technology.
Reliable software is essential to modern technology, from the embedded systems that make a washing machine work to the flight controllers on a passenger jet.
In this course, we’ll focus on the design and development of embedded software systems, including:
* software verification systems
* real-time and cyber-physical systems
You'll study a broad Computer Science curriculum in your first two years. You’ll learn about creative problem-solving, program design and implementation.
In your final year, you’ll learn about software engineering and study more specialised modules.
You'll also have the option to take part in a paid industry placement or study abroad year.
You'll be based in the Urban Sciences Building on our Newcastle Helix campus. You’ll access industry-leading facilities, studying in the same environment as industry leaders.
During your degree, you'll apply your knowledge through team and individual projects. You'll choose from an industry challenge or develop a project that solves a real-world problem. You'll plan your approach, select the best software, and work together to create a solution.
