Build on your existing knowledge of software engineering to a high level with this advanced postgraduate degree, preparing you for a career or further research in this area. You'll have an enthusiasm for software technology from your first degree, or perhaps your work experience, and be keen to engage with a wide range of new materials and technology.
You'll get the opportunity to explore in depth the areas of software engineering which interest you most by offering a number of module choices as well as the chance to specialise in state-of-the-art research topics such as evolutionary and parallel computing.
Skills
You'll gain valuable skills in project management and team working through a group based project and independent research skills that will develop your existing knowledge and understanding to produce a substantial, self-directed piece of individual work. You'll develop a good understanding of the principles of modern software engineering plus current research and future trends in software engineering.
