Bachelor of Science (Hons) Software Engineering

Software Engineering focuses on the systematic and quantifiable study of the entire software development life cycle, including analysis, design, testing, implementation, modification, and maintenance. With the growing complexity and functionality of software applications, its relevance continues to expand across various domains such as business, science, entertainment, and education. This programme provides comprehensive training in key techniques, principles, and tools essential for every stage of the software development process. It is designed with a strong application-centric approach, integrating advanced programming techniques, popular software development languages, and modern frameworks. This hands-on methodology enables students to bridge theoretical concepts with practical experience in real-world software development.

Students will engage in courses covering Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, Cloud Computing, Game Engine Programming, Networking, and Cybersecurity, equipping them with industry-relevant skills. Additionally, they will undertake a final-year project focused on cutting-edge research topics, preparing them for future innovations in the field of software engineering.
