Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons.) in Software Engineering
About
About
The three-year Bachelor of Computer Science (Hons.) program provides students with a solid foundation in computing and exposure to the latest technologies. In the first year, all students take core subjects before choosing a specialization in one of the following areas in their second year: Software Engineering, Game Development, Data Science, or Cybersecurity. In their final year, students will complete a capstone project and participate in industrial training to gain hands-on industry experience.
Software Engineering emphasizes the design and development of software systems using innovative methodologies and advanced tools. Students learn various techniques for analyzing user requirements and specifications, along with the processes of designing, implementing, and verifying software systems.
