Overview

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Software Engineering

Macquarie’s flexible Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a strong focus on practical learning.

Software engineers play a crucial role in modern society, ensuring computer-controlled systems and processes – including: 

Business systems, telecommunications, operating systems, firmware and middleware applications – are designed to run continuously. 

They also apply systematic methods to software development, operation and maintenance to produce robust code for an ever-connected world.

The Software Engineering specialisation will equip you with knowledge and skills to program, test and bug-fix software. 

You’ll develop advanced knowledge of the concepts underlying the design, development and performance of software systems, including: 

Mathematical foundations, cybersecurity, programming languages, algorithm design, data modelling and storage. 

You’ll conduct complex software-based projects across the engineering lifecycle by applying industry-standard software development methodologies, practices and tools.

Key features

  • Gain practical, hands-on experience (Collaborate on projects with your fellow students via the project-based professional development spine unit.)
  • Collaborate with fellow students on exciting projects
  • Enhance your learning within a unique high-tech precinct (Undertake internships with world-leading organisations next to the Macquarie Park Innovation District.)
