Bachelor of Information Technology (Hons.) in Software Engineering

Software is ubiquitous and central to our lives. We interact daily with software systems – at home through computer games, at the office through online services and in the car through embedded control systems. We expect software to be reliable, efficient and effective in safety critical systems as well as desktop computers. Software engineering applies both computer science and engineering principles and best practices to the design, implementation, testing, maintenance, and evolution of software. Software engineering covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems but also management issues.

Some of the skills that you will acquire in the programme will include an understanding of all aspects of software development and the software development process from the early design stages to long-term software maintenance and evolution; the ability to construct and evaluate software in the context of physical systems and real-world applications; and a breadth of knowledge and skills in software engineering, as well as related areas of engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics and complementary studies, that will provide you with a base for life-long learning.
