A key difference setting Software Engineering apart from Computer Science is it is a discipline in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), where Computer Science is a BSc subject. The BE(Hons) is a four-year degree that has prescribed first year courses, and three professional years with most courses prescribed. You must also complete 800 hours of practical work. There is a strong focus on large projects and teamwork.
The projects provide excellent opportunities to develop skills as a team player, to develop creative solutions to complex and challenging problems, to implement these solutions and turn them into usable systems, and to work with recent and exciting software technologies.
