These courses will allow you to develop into a highly skilled professional, well versed in advanced methods and tools. Colleagues from industry participate directly in the delivery of some of the modules, including hands-on tutorials that allow you to use some of the tools and methodologies that are shaping the software development landscape.

We have an open approach to collaboration with industry. We undertake joint projects, provide consultancy services, and organise events to connect you with potential employers. We also run an Industrial Advisory Board: its members are computer scientists who hold successful careers in industry and who help us ensure that your training is industrially relevant. On completion this course leads to MSc in Advanced Software Engineering.

Modules

Software engineering is a very dynamically developing discipline. There are new specification, modelling and programming languages, new tools and paradigms for development of software systems. Among the most promising new ideas in recent years are: UML for modelling of software systems; Generative methods for code generation; Aspect-oriented programming for compositional development of complex systems; Model-driven development for software system development, e.g. OMG's Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative.
