Master of Software Engineering
University of Adelaide, The
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00123M
This program aims to provide graduates with the knowledge, tools and methods for defining software requirements, performing software design, construction, testing and maintenance tasks. Graduates gain a demonstrated ability to design and construct large software systems and are qualified to secure rewarding technical careers in the software engineering industry. Students who wish to proceed to further research study must complete an individual year-long research project in an area of software engineering instead of the usual year-long group project. Interested students should consult the program coordinator in their first year of study. Students may convert to a Master of Software Engineering from a Master of Computing and Innovation after completing the equivalent of a major in computer science. Students seeking to convert between degrees are required to seek program advice from the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, as not all courses can be counted towards the new degree.
