About this course

Software engineering is the disciplined application of engineering principles to the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software systems. Where computer science is concerned with the theoretical foundations of computation, software engineering focuses on how large, complex, and reliable software is actually built in practice, addressing questions of architecture, design patterns, team collaboration, version control, testing strategies, and the management of software projects over time. As virtually every organisation in the modern economy depends on software to function, the demand for software engineers is sustained and global. At the University of Huddersfield, this three-year full-time programme includes a sandwich year with work placement, giving you the opportunity to spend a significant period working in a professional software development environment before completi
