Computer Science (Software Engineering) with Year in Industry

About this course

Computer science with a specialisation in software engineering equips you to design, build, and maintain the software systems that underpin the modern world, from web platforms and mobile applications to embedded systems and enterprise infrastructure. Software engineering within computer science goes beyond programming to encompass the systematic methods, tools, and practices that enable large, complex systems to be developed reliably and maintained effectively over time. It combines the theoretical rigour of computing science with the practical discipline of professional software development. This four-year full-time degree at Royal Holloway includes a year in industry, during which you will work in a real software development environment and gain the kind of practical awareness and professional skills that can only be acquired by doing the job. The programme provides a strong foundati
