Description

Bachelor of Software Engineering

With great communication skills, you’ll become the managerial interface between a business and its software system. You’ll learn to design, code, test and manage large and complex software systems. Working on complex software development environments, operating systems, communications, web software, databases and varied applications, you will undertake studies in all facets of the software engineering process.

2017 Undergraduate

Program snapshot Program code: BP096

DURATION Full-time: 4 years

Software engineering focuses on the software development life cycle, but goes beyond programming to assess and meet customer needs, and design and test software. Developing software solutions often involves assembling extensive amounts of code into working applications, as well as updating and fixing problems in existing software. This program is particularly suited to students with strong communication skills who will work at the interface between a software system and a business organisation.

Industry connections

Professional recognition

The year-long internship during your third year takes you out into a real-world working environment where you’ll finesse the work-ready skills you’ll need to be an effective software engineer.

This program is accredited at the professional level by the Australian Computer Society (ACS), which accredits information and communication technology related programs that are offered by Australian universities both onshore and offshore.

RMIT can provide assistance in helping you find an internship placement.

ACS has reciprocal membership agreements worldwide. ACS Certified Professional status gives you global recognition.

The internship year will provide you with an opportunity to build on and apply your learning within a work environment before returning for the final year.

Career outlook As everyday life becomes more dependent on computers and computer systems, the need for highly skilled software engineers grows. There are almost limitless opportunities for qualified graduates. You could gain employment as a software developer, tester, software architect or designer. There are also team leader, project manager and executive-level positions in software development projects.

International opportunities RMIT partners with over 150 organisations around the world to provide you with with global work and study opportunities. You could spend a semester studying abroad, take part in a study tour or complete an international internship.
