The University of Bolton's MSc Software Engineering course taught at our London Academic Centre by our learning partners Regent College London offers graduates with a background in computing and programming the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of advanced software methodologies. This intensely practical course supports and encourages you to hone your creative thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills through the use of realistic scenarios inspired by the industry experience of our tutors and professional software engineering contacts.
You'll have the opportunity to study the latest methodologies and development techniques, and deepen your understanding of approaches such as design patterns and contemporary software engineering practices. We'll support you as you acquire the capacity to adapt and learn new skills, ready to respond as the software engineering industry evolves throughout your career. Since software engineering is an international business unconstrained by geographical area, you'll also explore issues such as localisation within application development.
Designed collaboratively with industrial partners, this master's degree supports you to equip yourself with the skills employers seek and understand the ethical and environmental issues you'll encounter in your professional life.
The standard entry requirement for the course is BSc (Hons) in Computer Science (or a related subject) or BEng (Hons) in Software Engineering, usually with a first or upper second class (2.1) classification.
For applicants without a first or upper second, then a lower second class honours degree will be considered on a case by case basis (particularly for candidates with good relevant industrial experience).
We'll consider applications where appropriate work experience can be demonstrated in lieu of, or in addition to, the published academic qualifications in line with the University’s Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) procedures.
You may be required to attend an interview and/or provide a portfolio of work.
Our MSc in Software Engineering is aimed at computer science graduates and experienced professional programmers and investigates complex software systems, methodologies, measures and tools that can be used in the software engineering process. A software engineer's duties can include producing project requirements, writing algorithms, coding, testing, deployment or maintenance.
As a graduate of this programme, you'll possess a wide range of technical skills such as software reuse, agile development, design patterns and software architecture. You'll also be able to demonstrate a range of transferable skills, including advanced IT skills, analytical skills, communication, creativity and innovation, independence, logic, numeracy, project management and organisation.
