BEng (Hons) Software Engineering

University of Greater Manchester

Forging a path into software specialisms while balancing study with work is how the BEng (Hons) Software Engineering describes full-time and part-time weekday options. Comprehensive education in software development spans up to six years on the part-time shape recorded for applicants who need that flexibility. London campuses are listed. Prefer the Software Engineering with Foundation Year sibling only when you still need preparatory undergraduate study. Electrical and Mechanical Engineering bachelor’s pages at the same partner are different disciplines. AF Education supports England-resident UK home students with free application help and Student Finance England checks. Full-time and part-time weekday shapes let you weigh intensity against how long you want the software engineering journey to run.
