About this course

Software engineering with industrial studies combines one of the most in-demand technical disciplines with sustained professional experience in industry, producing graduates who are not only technically capable but commercially aware and ready to contribute from their first day in a professional role. Software engineering provides the systematic frameworks, methods, and practices needed to design, build, test, and maintain software at scale, while the industrial studies component ensures that this learning is grounded in the realities of how software is developed in practice. At the University of Southampton, this six-year full-time degree, which includes a foundation year, takes you from foundational principles through to advanced master's level study. You will learn to analyse organisations' software needs, design appropriate architectures, and build and test systems that are reliable
