Bachelor of Software Engineering is a three-year course and is designed for students with a particular interest in computer programming and the design and construction of software systems. The course focuses more on software engineering than does the more general Bachelor of Information Technology course.

The course provides students with a sound understanding of computer science; intensive study of the most important current programming languages, such as Visual Basic, Java and C/C++; and a thorough introduction to the methodology of software systems engineering. Students use modern development environments in their study. The environments include .NET and Linux and appropriate specialist software engineering tools. Students gain extensive practical experience using Visual Basic .Net, C++ and C# within the Microsoft .Net Framework. Students will also gain good experience working in Linux in some units. Analysis and specification methods include UML, XML, structured and soft systems methodologies. Final year students complete a team project, producing and implementing a substantial software-based system to address a need of a local business, government or community organisation.

The units in the information systems part of the course focus on the application of computer systems in commercial or business environments. Employment options include work as computer programmers and software engineers with the wide range of firms that provide and/or maintain computer software and IT systems.
