Software Systems Engineering MSc

UCL (University College London)

This one-year MSc will deepen your expertise in software engineering, preparing you for careers in leading IT companies or for further academic research. You will undertake a substantial research or engineering project, often in collaboration with industry partners, to develop the skills necessary for the software engineering field. Large-scale software systems are essential in many industries. This advanced programme teaches you from world-renowned lecturers who are leaders in both research and industry. You will learn to identify software requirements, design software architecture, develop and test software, and reflect on the professional responsibilities of software engineers. 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 programme. 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 programme 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. This programme is ideal for you if you have a background in software engineering, either through a previous degree in computer science or professional experience. If you do not have a computer science background, consider our MSc in Computer Science.
