Elective modules allow you to specialise in areas such as security, networks, data engineering, and finance. A substantial project, either a group industry project or an individual research project, forms a key part of the course.


Most of our group projects are with industry clients, where you will apply your knowledge to real-world problems. Research projects will give you exposure to the most recent advances in software engineering research and are a brilliant option if you are considering a PhD in the future.


This course will give you all the skills you need to work on large-scale software systems in an industry or a research capacity. At the same time, you will benefit from studying in the heart of London, one of the largest IT sectors in the world.
