Software Engineering

About this course

Software engineering is the discipline of designing, developing, and maintaining software systems with the rigour and professionalism that complex, large-scale software demands. It goes beyond programming to address the full lifecycle of software products: requirements analysis, system architecture, design patterns, testing, quality assurance, project management, and the maintenance and evolution of software over time. The discipline emerged from the recognition that writing software that actually works reliably, at scale, and in collaboration with others is a fundamentally different challenge from writing small programs that solve simple problems. At the University of Leicester, this three-year full-time programme combines technical programming expertise with real-world experience, developing your ability to shape the way people interact with technology at the highest professional leve
