Good software engineers not only have solid computer science foundations but must also be skilful in the software development process and have good people skills.

Programme structure
Years 1 and 2
Students follow years 1 and 2 of the KMITL programme: BEng Software Engineering (International Programme)
Years 3, 4 and 5
Year 3 covers a broad range of topics and emphasises the skills needed for team-based software development when working with real-world customers.
After year 3, BSc students can spend their summer on a paid placement in industry. This placement lasts a full year for MSci with work placement students.
The final year (4 or 5) includes advanced courses on software engineering and a substantial individual project, frequently in collaboration with employers.
BSc students can extend their degree by an additional year and graduate with an MSci. A decision regarding whether a student can transfer to the MSci will be taken by the University at the end of Year 3.
