Software Engineers are programming architects, who apply computer science, engineering and mathematical analysis to the design and development of large, complex, and critical software systems.

This programme provides you with a comprehensive grounding in computer science, while equipping you with the specialist skills required for a profession in software engineering and design. Software Engineering has been a major research theme at Lancaster since 1986. Your first year will provide you with the fundamentals of computer science, software development, digital systems and understanding of professionalism within your chosen practice. This allows you to gain the essential knowledge needed for analysis and design. You will also begin to develop complex computer programming skills, learning to write, analyse, debug, test, and document computer programs.

Your second and third years offer advanced modules, including Distributed Systems, Computer Human Interaction, and Languages and Compilation. In addition to developing your foundational understanding, programming, and software design skills. All these are related to the discipline and will complete a group software engineering project. With that you will develop the working knowledge and skills to overcome the challenges of designing, developing and evaluating real-world software systems.

You will also undertake a variety of software engineering studio modules, ensuring you gain a broad and robust level of skills and experience. These modules require you to solve real-world problems as a software engineering team. They will further develop your data analysis, graphical, report writing and presentation skills.
