Computer Science (Software Engineering)

Computer Science with Software Engineering combines programming in languages such as Python with the methods used to build and test software. Students study Agile development and Scrum, and they gain hands-on experience with DevOps tools. Version control, continuous integration and build automation form part of the practical work, alongside core principles of system security. The course also explores the legal and ethical issues raised by software and its wider effects on society. An optional placement year or an international year is available to strengthen career prospects. The degree also supports students who want to test systems and build reliable software, leading to careers in software development and related technical roles. Students gain practical awareness of how software teams collaborate day to day.
