Master in Software Development

Graduates move into roles such as software developer, web and mobile application engineer, systems and cloud engineer, database designer or network specialist, and many find positions with multinational technology firms, start-ups, consultancy agencies or government IT departments, with some continuing to PhD research or professional registration.

The programme covers the foundations and advanced topics of software engineering through an object-oriented approach. Core modules introduce Java programming, computer architecture, web services, database design and networking before progressing to advanced object-oriented design, data structures, mobile development, operating systems, cloud computing, agile methods and a capstone software project that integrates the learnt skills. Hands-on labs and industry-relevant tools are used throughout to develop practical competence.
