Bachelor of Computing (Software Engineering)

This course will equip you with high-level knowledge of computer systems and processes involved in software development and maintenance. You will study aspects of modern computing, commencing with fundamental programming and theoretical knowledge. You’ll then tailor your degree to your goals by choosing to study a major in Computer Science, Cyber Security or Software Engineering. You'll use C and Java as the tools for learning core concepts such as object orientation and algorithms. Linux skills are taught throughout the course, starting with the basics and progressing to advanced topics. Students that perform well in the first year of this course can apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Computing) honours degree course. (Note that acceptance is not automatic.)Curtin collaborates with industry partners to optimise course content and provide final-year placement opportunities to suitable students. Develop real-world experience before you graduate. Learn how work-integrated learning helps you build career skills and connect with industry early. This major focuses on the software development lifecycle, but goes beyond programming to evaluate and meet customer needs, and design and test software. You'll develop design techniques and project management skills to solve real-world problems and build reliable, efficient, large-scale software systems.
