Create the software and games of tomorrow. Through the Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Software) you will learn firsthand how to design and develop computer games, business applications, operating systems and network control systems. Combining technical knowledge with industry experience, you will be ready to transform the digital world.

As a software engineering student, you will learn all aspects of software production, from strategy and design to coding, quality and management. You will develop knowledge in computer systems, data structures and programming, the foundation for further studies in software design, development, security and management.

During your four-year degree, you will be taught by experts in the software engineering discipline and learn about programming and computer languages, data structures, algorithms and databases, data-centric computing, operating systems and software project management.

A 12-week internship will provide you with invaluable industry experience and enable you to network with practising professionals. In your fourth year you will complete an embedded honours thesis, which enables you to design an independent research project and specialise in an area that interests you.

The skills and experiences you gain will prepare you for a role as a software engineer, development manager, applications programmer, analyst, consultant or software innovator. As a rapidly evolving industry, there is an enormous opportunity to become an innovative leader in the digital revolution.
