BEng (Hons) in Software Engineering

Overview

This BEng (Hons) programme is awarded by London Metropolitan University - UK and focuses on applied software engineering skills. The course emphasises software development practices, systems thinking and project-based learning for employability.

Who this is for

Suitable for students holding a relevant Level 5 qualification who want to convert prior study into an honours degree. The programme supports progression into professional roles in software development and systems engineering.

Key learning areas

• Application development - practical coding and software construction skills.
• Advanced software engineering - design methodologies and software lifecycle practices.
• Project analysis and practice - requirements, planning and team-based delivery.
• Artificial intelligence - foundations and applications relevant to modern systems.
• Individual project - extended independent development and research.

What you will gain

Graduates will consolidate technical programming skills, apply engineering approaches to software problems and manage substantial development projects - equipping them for graduate-level roles and further study.

Entry requirements

• Minimum 240 credits from a relevant Higher National Diploma (HND) or equivalent foundation degree.
• Acceptable qualifications include Pearson BTEC HND in Computing/IT/IS; BCS Diploma; NCC IAD; or a recognised Advanced/Higher Diploma in IT/IS.
• Evidence of prior study in computing or related practice is required to demonstrate readiness for top-up study.

Teaching and assessment

The programme uses a mix of practical laboratories, workshops and project supervision - with assessment through coursework, practical assignments and a substantial final project that demonstrates applied competence.

Professional relevance

The curriculum emphasises industry-relevant skills such as requirements analysis, design, testing and deployment - preparing students for roles in software engineering, application development and systems design.

Progression and career pathways
