Software Engineering
Grouped here when the official title names software engineering, software development or software systems. The line between this and computer science is drawn by the institution, not by U4S.
Software engineering concentrates on building and maintaining software systems: design, architecture, testing, version control, requirements work and the practices teams use to ship and support code over time. It usually carries more project and process work than a computer science degree, and less theory.
The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.

The catalogues these were read from list programmes without declaring a level, and U4S does not infer one from a programme’s name.
