The Software Engineering programme at the University of Greater Manchester has been designed collaboratively working with industrial partners to ensure that students study a comprehensive programme of relevant industrial topics. Many of the graduates find successful careers in this lucrative area of employment.

Coursework prepares students for their post-university career through realistic scenarios, emphasising technical skills and delivering required outputs like technical proposals and reports. Project-based coursework frequently involves group work, emphasising the crucial skill of effective teamwork in modern software engineering.

The programme emphasises internationalisation, covering cultural aspects, localisation, and international standards in software engineering and application development. Furthermore, this is a Top-Up programme designed to allow individuals to progress from an appropriate prior qualification to an honours degree level. An induction programme will facilitate an effective transition to honours degree study.
