BSc Software Engineering (3 Years)

The BSc Software Engineering bachelor degree programme is designed to develop your knowledge and expertise in designing, developing and delivering software solutions in a digital world. You will study a wide range of software development tools, methodologies and technologies to help you in this regard.

The course will also teach you about coding and software architecture so that you can create functional software applications and platforms.

In the initial year of the course, you will cover the basics of computer science to make your foundation strong, and after that the emphasis of the course will be on design and development of software for specific applications. In addition, you will also explore different architectural paradigms, including distributed and parallel computing.

The programme gives you the flexibility to specialise in specific domains within software engineering, like data security, network security, augmented and virtual reality, and web technology.
