Programme Description
The MSc in Advanced Software Engineering is an advanced course, intended for those who wish to extend their existing knowledge of software engineering, and also offers the opportunity to specialise further in state-of-the-art research topics in this area.
It is ideally suited to those who wish to pursue a career in the development and use of practical software systems that address real world problems or situations, as well as being a valuable course for those who wish to pursue a career in research either in software engineering, or perhaps in state-of-the-art fields such as evolutionary and parallel computing.
The course core is founded on two enabling technologies: modern software engineering practices and current research trends in software engineering. The ethos of the course is to extend your existing knowledge of, and thinking towards, software engineering theory, practice and research.
Graduates can expect to find employment in a variety of jobs and companies ranging from independent software houses to graduate trainee courses in large multinational companies. You may also find opportunities for further study in research, either at PhD level or as research assistants.
