Throughout the Software Engineering, BEng Hons degree, students will work with cutting-edge technologies and master a wide range of architectures, programming languages, software engineering formalisms, methodologies and tools. The practical components of the course will develop students' skills and confidence through hands-on experience of the latest technologies and programming techniques.
Learners will develop professional, management and team-working skills, and solve problems using analytical techniques. Not only will they keep up with the rapidly and constantly evolving world of software engineering, they'll also shape it as their career develops. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to deal with demands of enterprise application development and high-level software management.
This degree course employs a range of innovative teaching and learning methods. Lectures and laboratories or tutorials are dynamic and interactive. Students will be taught by an experienced team of lecturers, supported by a team of technical officers.
The University of Greenwich has a long-standing relationship with the British Computer Society (BCS), which accredits the computing degree programmes.
Students can also opt for a sandwich mode, which means they can take a year to work in industry between their second and final years of study. Sandwich placements are relevant to their degree subject and are paid roles. Former students have secured placement years at HSBC Hong Kong, Kent Connects, Affiliate Window, CERN, Royal Museums Greenwich and Uctel. In addition to this, learners are also encouraged to take up summer internships, though it is up to them to find those. Support is available to students from the Employability and Careers Service when applying for placements and internships.
The Software Engineering, BEng Hons graduates can work as consultants or as part of a team in industry, commerce, research or the public sector.
