Software Engineering

About this course

Software Engineering is the discipline that turns ideas and requirements into reliable, efficient and maintainable software systems. It is more than simply programming: it encompasses the full lifecycle of software development, from the initial analysis of what a system must do, through design, implementation, testing and deployment, to the ongoing maintenance and improvement of systems in production. As software has come to underpin virtually every aspect of modern life, from financial transactions and healthcare systems to social media and transportation networks, the demand for skilled software engineers who can build systems that are scalable, secure and robust has grown to become one of the most significant in the global economy. At Queen's University of Belfast, this four-year full-time programme develops the problem-solving capabilities, technical depth and professional judgement
