Program Outline
Degree Overview:
As a Software Engineering student at DMU, you will develop the technical skills needed to design and build software that is used in everyday devices and systems across our homes, workplaces and communities. This course is a specialist pathway within Computer Science sharing similar subjects for the first two years of study. Final year study includes a distinctive focus on building software across different platforms including contemporary mobile devices and embedded systems. You will also learn about the structure of organisations, gaining insight into the commercial context in which systems are commissioned and deployed, as well as covering important professional issues surrounding computer ethics, law, and security.
Other:
Benefit from Education 2030, where a simplified ‘block learning’ timetable means you will study one subject at a time and have more time to engage with your learning, receive faster feedback and enjoy a better study-life balance. Tailor your learning to your career ambitions by choosing from a range of optional final-year modules, including Functional Programming, Advanced Web Development, and Embedded Systems and IoT. Software Engineering students have networked at software companies in Berlin and met tech entrepreneurs in San Francisco.
