Program Outline

The Bachelor of Information Technology (Software Engineering) aims to provide students with the appropriate knowledge, skills and values to be effective in creating high quality software in a controlled and cost efficient manner. This program contains many programming and software engineering courses that will enable students to get work in either field. There are also a number of electives that will enable students to either add depth or breadth to their studies. The material covered throughout the courses in this program reflects the current and future needs of practicing software engineers. In particular, students will be able to apply their skills with two courses dedicated to a real life project. For the non-project courses, students will also be exposed to a large number of case studies from industry. Students will cover object oriented analysis and design in depth rather than covering an overview of many methodologies. This will provide them with a very marketable skill as well as being exposed to other techniques.
