Software Engineering

As our society becomes increasingly technological and computers integrate with products such as fridges and cars, one of our biggest challenges is how to create the necessary software to make computers useful.

Software engineers use principles of computer science, engineering, design, management, psychology, sociology and other disciplines to design and manage large software systems. Team and individual projects are a focus of this major, which is an approach valued by our industry partners – and your future employers.

Employment for graduates can be found in large multi-national companies, state and federal government departments and agencies, and in many small, specialised and emerging companies.
