Overview

Overview of Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Software Engineering in University of Nottingham Malaysia UNM Malaysia

The Foundation in Science is a 1+3 year programme that results in direct progression to the undergraduate degrees offered within the Faculty of Science. This rigorous programme provides students with a strong academic background that will result in enhanced language, mathematics, critical thinking and study skills.  

Students on this programme also chose from a range of elective modules that provide the opportunity to sample topics related to their chosen undergraduate pathway such as chemistry, ecology, computer programming or psychology.

Our BSc Software Engineering degree has common modules with our computer science degrees, but is tailored to focus more on the design and implementation of large software systems – particularly those with interactive or multimedia components. It is built around four themes: the design and implementation of software systems; the use and development of networked and distributed systems; user interface principles; and evaluation and testing. If you enjoy building things, and want to learn to construct software systems – including the consideration of people as well as machines – then this course is a good option.You will gain general knowledge and understanding of computer and software systems; specialised knowledge of the design, implementation, user interfaces and evaluation of software systems; experience in using avariety of problems encountered in the area of software engineering; and an understanding of the professional, legal and ethical aspects of the discipline.
