Software Engineering

About this course

Software engineering is the discipline concerned with the systematic design, development, testing, and maintenance of software systems, including those that are large-scale, safety-critical, or long-lived. It draws on theoretical computer science for its foundations while emphasising the professional practices that make it possible to build reliable, maintainable, and efficient software in team settings. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year full-time degree combines computing theory with the engineering principles and industry practices that shape how real software is built, giving you both the intellectual depth of a research-intensive university and direct exposure to how the profession works. You will study algorithms, data structures, programming languages, software design, systems architecture, software testing, and project management, along with the mathematical and theore
