Software Engineering

About this course

Software engineering is the discipline of building software that works reliably at scale, in conditions that matter and for people who depend on it. It is not merely about writing code, though technical programming skill is central to it: it is about the systematic application of engineering principles to the creation, testing, deployment and maintenance of complex software systems. From the digital infrastructure of the internet and the operating systems on our devices to the platforms that connect communities and the algorithms that shape our information environment, good software engineering is the discipline that makes dependable digital technology possible. At the University of Kent you will develop competence across the full range of software engineering disciplines over a three-year full-time programme, building from strong foundations in programming, data structures and algorith
