and Computer Systems and Software Engineering

Description

This programme is available as a three year BSc or a four year Masters (MEng). You can also choose to include a year in industry, which would lengthen the programme by one year.

A Masters programme provides you the benefit of an extra year of study with us (as compared with a Bachelors programme), allowing you to study more topics at a deeper level, thus connecting you with the state-of-the-art in your selected study areas.

The first two years form a solid foundation in the subject. In the final two academic years of the Masters programme, special emphasis is given to software engineering, where a highly systematic approach is taken to the development and maintenance of software. Subjects central to this include requirements analysis, formal specification of systems, system design methodologies, human factors engineering, software measurement and testing and topics in privacy and security. Both a group project and an individual research project are undertaken in the final year.

Practical and project work receives great emphasis throughout the programme: the Department's teaching laboratories include software laboratories equipped with workstations, first and second year bench laboratories for experiments in digital electronics and microprocessor systems, and project laboratories for final year work.
