Software Engineering with Work Placement (Faster Route) Msci (Hon)

**Software Engineering**: Software engineers develop and maintain large-scale complex software infrastructures. Our programme combines theoretical computing science with the principles and practices used in the modern software industry and gives you real-world experience.<br/><br/>The School of Computing Science launched the pioneering Centre for Computing Science Education in 2017, in recognition of our commitment to leadership and innovation in educational practice. <br/><br/>After year 3, BSc students spend their summer on a paid placement in industry. This placement lasts a full year for MSci with work placement students.<br/><br/>Applicants to Computing Science or Software Engineering degrees who attain exceptional grades in their Advanced Highers, A-levels or International Baccalaureate may apply for Faster Route. Attending additional classes enables the four-year BSc Honours degree programme to be condensed into three years, or the five-year MSci degree programme into four years.
