Some of the most difficult and challenging problems in industry and commerce are associated with software development. If you are a computing professional and would like to increase your theoretical knowledge of software engineering and practical skills in software development, this course is ideal.
It will equip you with an advanced knowledge of the latest methods and tools for software engineering, enabling you to choose and follow an approach to software development that delivers the optimum result in terms of cost, time and software quality. At the end of the course you will have the skills to make an effective contribution as part of a team building software systems.
What will you study?
You will study state-of-the-art concepts in software engineering and focus on the fundamental concepts and principles of systems analysis, design, implementation and testing.
