Overview

Software Engineering (with Placement) is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Software Engineering is coursework heavy, with lab sessions each week and a substantial individual project in the final stage.

Tuition ranges from £22,400 to £26,600 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

More process and teamwork than a pure computer science degree, and employers building large systems value that. The hiring bar is the same technical interview, so the fundamentals still have to be there.

Roles graduates go into

  • Software engineer
  • Backend or full stack developer
  • DevOps engineer
  • QA and test engineer
  • Solutions architect
  • Technical lead in time

Where they work

  • Software houses and product companies

  • Startups and scale-ups
After the course

No register. Cloud certification and open source contribution are the two things that move this career fastest.
