It is designed for problem-solvers, looking to address challenges in our interconnected, technology-orientated society.<br/><br/>You’ll first learn the principles that underpin computer science, giving you a strong technical foundation on which to build. The programme shares a common first year with our computer science programmes, enabling you to transfer between programmes at the end of the first year if interests or career aspirations emerge in other areas.<br/><br/>The emphasis then moves to the design and implementation of large software engineering programmes, and you will study subjects including:<br/><br/><br/>- mobile applications<br/><br/><br/>- system security management<br/><br/><br/>- software verification<br/><br/><br/>- database systems<br/><br/><br/>**Placement Year**<br/>This 4-year BEng (Hons) Software Engineering programme offers you the opportunity to take up a placement year working in industry in your third year.<br/>The placement year is an excellent way to develop your professional experience, build industry contacts, and gain insight into the day-to-day work of a professional software engineer. This is full-time employment in an area relevant to your studies, and may be a salaried position.<br/><br/>After completing your placement you’ll return to complete the final year of the programme, and apply all you’ve learnt to your final project. Many students continue their relationship with their placement employers, working for them part-time or returning to work in graduate positions after finishing their studies.<br/>In recent years students have gone on placement with a range of employers including: large companies such as Hewlett Packard, Intel, IBM, Rolls Royce, GE, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan.
