You will study a broad curriculum for two years, before learning about the development of embedded software systems that are fundamental to almost all our use of technology.

Explore different aspects of computing science – such as games design, bioinformatics, and security – in your first two years.

Spend a year on an accredited, paid industrial placement between Stages 2 and 3.

Study specialist modules in Stage 3 – such as software verification technology and real-time and cyber-physical systems – to develop skills and knowledge for your chosen career.

About Software Engineering

Reliable software is fundamental to almost all of our use of technology, from the embedded systems that make a washing machine work to the flight controllers on a passenger jet.

Working alongside programmers who have in-depth knowledge of writing code, software engineers understand and oversee the development of these systems, requiring strong computing science, project management and problem-solving skills.

Our International Business Management master's celebrates the diversity of living and working across cultures. It focuses on the skills, competencies and knowledge necessary for individuals working in today's global business environment.

The course is suitable:

• If you are new to studying planning
• If you have studied planning before but in a different regulatory context

This master's in Urban Planning has five specialist pathways. Choose a pathway to suit your individual needs, background and career aspirations.

This course will develop your molecular biology skills underpinned by biotechnology. You'll also gain the skills and knowledge required for employment in the industry.

Biotechnology is present in all our everyday lives. It could include:

• Developing and modifying the enzymes in biological washing powder
• Research into generating high-value biofuels
• Protecting the crops growing in our fields.

Our Industrial and Commercial Biotechnology MSc:

• Provides an opportunity to experience and refine molecular biology skills
• Covers many aspects of applied biotechnological applications
• Creates networks between fundamental research, the application of biotech solutions to modelling of large-scale bioprocess engineering
• Develops your independent research skills
