Computer Science (Software Engineering)

About this course

Computer science with a specialism in software engineering is a degree that addresses one of the core challenges of the digital economy: how to build software that works reliably, scales effectively and can be maintained and improved over time. Software engineering applies systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approaches to the development, operation and maintenance of software, going well beyond programming to encompass requirements analysis, system architecture, testing, version control and the professional practices that allow teams to collaborate on large and complex projects. At Royal Holloway, University of London, this three-year full-time programme teaches you what it takes to turn a great idea into a working solution, and how to apply systematic engineering principles to every stage of software development, from concept design and architecture through testing, deployment and ma
