Description:
Overview
Each year organisations worldwide invest millions of dollars to build software systems. This programme is designed to train students to develop high quality software systems ranging from smart phone applications to modern enterprise applications.
BEng (Hons) Software Engineering is a fulltime honours degree awarded by Staffordshire University, UK. It includes up to one year of industry placement. Students who do not opt for the internship/ industry placement may complete the degree in 3 years. The BEng (Hons) Software Engineering (Accelerated) can be completed in 2 years; industry placement will not be offered for the accelerated path.
The curriculum incorporates cutting edge technologies and emergent industry practices. Much of the content is practical in nature and aims to produce software engineers who are able to identify and solve real world problems. The award has a strong focus on communication, teamwork, independent learning and self-management skills and attributes highly valued in the software industry.
You will be introduced to a variety of modern software design methods; innovative development tools; novel programming approaches; techniques for dealing with the complexity of building large software systems; managing design and development teams; and ensuring software quality.
You will study all phases of the systems development lifecycle with an emphasis on business requirements analysis, user experience design, software design, software development, software quality assurance and software deployment.
On successful completion of the BEng (Hons) Software Engineering, students will be awarded with a Staffordshire University degree
Teaching & Learning
You will learn through lectures, tutorials and workshops. Lectures are highly interactive and incorporate group discussions, video presentations, and activity-based learning. Learning activities are designed to develop soft skills as well as your ability to work independently and as part of a group. Your learning experience will be enriched by field visits and guest lectures by industry experts.
