Talented software developers are in high demand across all industries – and the need for these professionals is only growing. Technology is advancing at rapid rates and there is a limited number of people who have the knowledge to build quality software in line with these advancements. If you are passionate about all things technology or have an interest in creating quality software – this course could help you turn your passion into success. Whether you are interested in the internet of things, the next addictive app, or complex global organisation internal networking, this Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Software Engineering will allow you to advance to the next level. Students on the BEng Software Engineering will learn to build quality software while considering design, development, security, and maintenance. This means you will be a sought-after candidate amongst all kinds of companies, whether you want to work in finance, banking, healthcare, national security, or something completely niche. Our full-time bachelor's degree programme in Software Engineering will provide you with a broad spectrum of engineering competencies in the areas of analysis, specification, design, implementation, testing, maintenance, and documentation of software systems. As a GISMA student, you will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for a successful career in any industry or company that depends on software and related processes, models, and tools, including project management. GISMA is a state recognised University of Applied Sciences which benefits from AMBA accreditation, which was awarded for our Global MBA. AMBA accreditation is an honour shared by only six business schools in Germany and 2% of all business schools worldwide. The prestigious accreditation represents innovation and excellence in education, which is one of our core values at GISMA. Show less

The full-time bachelor's degree programme comprises a standard study period of six semesters. The curriculum includes a ‘mobility window’ in the 5th semester: a semester reserved for you to study abroad or undertake further modules with an applied focus as part of career development.

For the bachelor's programmes, the total student workload for the courses is 180 ECTS credits.

A key element of this programme is the Career Development Semester, within which you will work on an end-to-end software engineering project. This project will allow you to work on a business problem, similar to what you may be given by a future employer. You will take this problem and develop a solution by collecting data, then building software to resolve the problem. You will then evaluate, test, and deliver the business solution, just like you would for an employer or client.

Additionally, within this module, you will work in App & Web Development Studio. This is a sandbox style lab, where you will have the opportunity to develop a web or mobile app, using the technical skills developed in previous modules. This is your opportunity to put the theory you have learned into practice, which will develop your skills for your career ahead.
