Bachelor of Software Engineering


Introduction

This degree is specially designed to train engineers in the development of state of the art software applications targeted to the industry.

It is an official degree of the European Space for Higher Education (ESHE) and therefore it is mainly based on practical contents, where work and individual student development plays a key role.

Our graduates are specially prepared to work as:

  • Management of Software Engineering Projects.
  • Development of computer applications.
  • Game Development.
  • Information Technology audits.
  • Computer forensics.

Guarantee of excellence

The degree in Software Engineering has been awarded by EQANIE the Euro-Inf international quality seal.

The Euro-Inf seal identifies high quality computer science degrees in Europe.

At this moment only other three Spanish universities are offering degrees in Computer Science with this accreditation. (*)

Moreover, the School of Computing teaches the Master in Web Engineering whose has been also awarded with the Euro-Inf seal. This makes of the School of Computing one of only two schools in Spain offering both degree and master studies accredited by EQANIE, and the only one offering the degree in English (*).

(*) The information about other degrees and masters is updated as of January 24, 2017

Course Subjects

The Degree includes 240 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) distributed in 4 years (60 ECTS per / 30 ECTS per semester).

Each credit represents 3 hours of classroom study followed by 6 hours of individual homework.

The ECTS are distributed among 34 mandatory subjects, 3 optional subjects (to choose from 9 possible), a Business Practice and a Final Degree Project.

In the last year of this course and as a step towards integration into the professional world, the student will develop Business Practices (6 ECTS) as well as a Final Degree Project (12 ECTS) under the supervision of a tutor.

Do you speak English?

Students may take subjects of the first and second courses in English. This will expand the possibilities for the student's future, getting a modern education with an internacional focus.

Students who pass a sufficient number of credits in English will get a Certificate for completing the Bilingual Study and will be added to the European Supplement. Get more information here.

Timetable

The timetables for each course are intended to optimize the time the student spends at the School. For that purpose, each course is taught principally in either morning or afternoon classes (the first and third courses are mainly in the morning, and the second and fourth in the afternoon). Moreover, hours in between classes are minimized as much as possible.

In addition, whenever there are different groups for a single subject, the School enables the students to show their preferences and incompatibilities when creating the groups.

Each year, the timetables may vary in order to adjust to the specific characteristics. This year's timetables can be found at the Virtual Secretariat.
