The Advanced Software Engineering MSc is an advanced study pathway that provides computer graduates with a thorough understanding of the role of IT in business, and how information systems impact on trade and organisational processes.
The Advanced Software Engineering MSc course focuses on complex techniques for the development of software systems, with an emphasis on the construction and management of internet-oriented, agent-oriented and large software systems. The programme will also equip you with essential research, analytical and critical thinking skills.
The course is made up of optional and required modules, and you will complete the course in one year, studying September to September. You must take modules totalling 180 credits to meet the requirements of the qualification, and 60 credits will come from an individual project of around 15,000 words. You will also participate in a group project that will provide you with invaluable experience of working in a team to design, implement and document a substantial software product.
For graduates with substantial experience of computer science, this programme will develop your expertise and skills in software engineering, preparing you for a career in software engineering, software maintenance and software testing. Research for your individual project will provide valuable preparation for a career in research or industry.
Teaching
We use lectures, seminars and group tutorials to deliver most of the modules on the programme. You will also be expected to undertake a significant amount of independent study.
Assessment
The primary method of assessment for this course is a combination of written examinations, essays, coursework and individual or group projects and oral presentations. The research project will be assessed on a 15,000-word dissertation.
Location
The majority of learning for this degree takes place at the Strand Campus, with occasional lectures and practical sessions taking place at the Waterloo Campus.
Our graduates have continued on to have very successful careers working for software consultancy companies, specialised software development businesses and the IT departments of large institutions (financial, telecommunications and public sector). Recent employers include Ernst & Young, Accenture and M-Netics. Some of our graduates have entered into the field of academic and industrial research in areas such as software engineering, algorithms and computer networks.
