Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours)

Software engineers are concerned with all aspects of building large, complex, software systems for applications in most areas of society including commerce, engineering, government and research. Software engineering is closely related to computer science, however, it is directed more towards the development of software systems rather than the theories and principles of computing.
