The Software Engineering programme is aimed at those motivated by the value of an engineering approach to the development of software systems and who enjoy finding elegant solutions to complex software problems. The demand for these graduates from the software industry is relentless.

You will be equipped with the skills necessary to work in the software industry or a commercial IT department having gained expertise in the analysis and implementation of the engineering process and the assurance of an advanced knowledge of supportive software engineering techniques.

Increased use of Artificial Intelligence (Al) can bring major social and economic benefits by automating tasks currently done by humans. AI computers can analyse and learn from information at higher accuracy and speed than humans can. It offers massive gains in efficiency and performance to most or all industry sectors, for example in Health, Financial Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, Social Media.

Al is software that can be integrated into existing processes, improving them, scaling them, and reducing their costs, by making or suggesting more accurate decisions through better use of information. Artificial Intelligence has also been a main focus of Computer Science research at Ulster University for over 25 years, and we are uniquely positioned to deliver this degree course.

The Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Enterprise Management programme prepares learners to be the emerging leaders of the future developing key skills including an ability to think and work creatively and innovatively, manage effectively and build relationships with customers and peers to meet and solve future business challenges.

This honours degree programme will help students to appreciate fully the vital business roles played by finance, accounting, marketing, human resource management and information technology. Students have the option to specialise their degree in the 3rd year. 

Throughout the BA (Hons) Degree in Accounting and Finance, you will develop the analytical techniques, economic expertise and strategic insight needed for a successful career within financial and business sectors. You will also learn how to practically apply your accounting knowledge and skills to inform strategic business decisions and create added value for stakeholders. 

This 4-year Honours degree programme provides students with a thorough understanding of the key principles of computer science.

Students will have the opportunity to work on software development projects, which have a strong industry focus. The projects will help support the theoretical content taught in class. In Year 3, you’ll undertake a 6-month work placement in the computing industry. In Year 4, you will choose a speciality: Cloud Computing, Network Management, Games Development or Software Development.
