Software Engineering with Industrial Experience (5 Years) [MEng]

Course unit choices

Themes

• Agile Methods
  Agile Methods focus on processes and techniques for managing software projects under challenging conditions. Agile Methods are important because software often has to be developed under pressures of time and in uncertain settings, where more traditional software development techniques have proved to be too cumbersome.

  • COMP23311: Software Engineering 1
  • COMP23412: Software Engineering 2
  • COMP33711: Agile Software Engineering
  • COMP33812: Software Evolution
• Rigorous Development
  Rigorous Development is concerned with techniques for specifying and analysing algorithms and systems, with a view to reaching a level of understanding that enables guarantees to be made about their behaviour. Rigorous Development is important as many applications of computer systems are both complex and safety critical, and thus stand to benefit from a systematic investigation of their properties.

  • COMP21111: Logic and Modelling
  • COMP31111: Verified Development
• Software Engineering
  Software Engineering is concerned with all aspects of software production, from the early stages of requirements gathering, through system design and implementation, to maintenance and evolution. Software Engineering is important because software projects may involve large teams of people, diverse or conflicting requirements, tight timescales and limited budgets.

  • COMP23412: Software Engineering 2
  • COMP33511: User Experience
