Key information

With the demand for graduates with a good knowledge of software engineering always high, this MSc will prepare you for a high-quality career. Youll learn about trends in system development, cloud computing and big data, and benefit from solid technical coverage of advanced software development.

Benefits of this course

You will develop skills in analysing, designing and creating complex software systems to solve real-world problems, evaluating and using advanced software engineering environments, design methods and programming languages.

The course focuses on advanced engineering concepts and methods, as well as design issues for the systematic development of high-quality complex software systems.

Your course is structured to give you a strong balance between the development of skills and a solid education in the enduring principles and concepts that underlie complex software system development.

The unique opportunity to complete a free optional Cloud Computing course is offered in summer term. If students then wish to become an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CCP), training for the exam will be provided, along with a voucher that gives a substantial discount for the exam and certification.

Teaching and assessment

You will learn from experts, drawing from Citys world-class research in Systems and Software Engineering.

Your MSc Software Engineering with Cloud Computing course will cover significant trends in systems development, including cloud computing and big data.

You will complete eight modules focussing on advanced engineering concepts and methods, as well as design issues for the systematic development of high-quality complex software systems.

These are explored using industrial strength technologies, such as the Java object-oriented programming languages and the UML modelling language.

Modules are assessed through a combination of coursework and examination but some are coursework-only. You will also complete a project to solve a real-world problem.
