Description Contents Requirements

With great communication skills, you’ll become the managerial interface between a business and its software system. You’ll learn to design, code, test and manage large and complex software systems.

Working on complex software development environments, operating systems, communications, web software, databases and varied applications, you will undertake studies in all facets of the software engineering process.

Software engineering focuses on the software development life cycle, but goes beyond programming to assess and meet customer needs, and design and test software.

Developing software solutions often involves assembling extensive amount of code into working applications, as well as updating and fixing problems in existing software.

This program is particularly suited to students with strong communication skills who will work at the interface between a software system and a business organisation.
