In a digital future, the opportunities for software are as limitless as the human imagination.
The software engineering specialisation focuses on designing high-quality computer software, and offers focused studies in computer programming, databases, web-based computing, cloud computing and cyber security. It also explores formal software engineering, including how to design programs and systems that are free from errors, reliable, safe, efficient and manageable.
You'll learn how to use computers to provide solutions and deliver high-quality code on time that can be integrated into existing operating environments. You'll also use the principles of computer design, engineering, management, psychology and sociology in small or large multinational companies.
