From biotechnology to sports to submarines, if you want a hand in designing and implementing the software systems our society depends on, Griffith's Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) is the ideal path for you.You'll learn in state-of-the-art facilities from passionate, experienced teachers. You'll be engineering from day one, with a solid foundation in mathematics, computer systems, engineering principles and information systems. In your second year, you'll explore computer algorithms, object-oriented programming, business analysis, computer network essentials and more.Along the way, you'll gain vital skills and knowledge in fields such as mobile app development, network security and project management. You'll also address the key social and professional issues facing software engineers as the 21st century - and humanity's complex relationship with devices - continues to develop.Industry and expert connectionsAt Griffith, we prioritise industry engagement in everything we teach. Our degrees also have a practical foundation, so you know what you're learning will be relevant to your career long after you graduate. You'll gain valuable skills in teamwork, project management and quality management as you complete project work developing software for real clients.Your learning experience will involve practising engineers directly through your laboratory and tutorial sessions. Additionally, your teachers will draw on their professional experience in choosing lab activities, projects and/or case studies, and problems. You'll also be exposed to the realities of current industry practice through a range of field trip opportunities.In your final year, you'll spend more than half your time engaging in work-integrated learning (WIL). As part of the final year's significant focus on WIL experiences, you'll team up with your peers to take on a group project in a practical environment. You'll also conduct a major engineering research project as part of our capstone Industry Affiliates Program. The course will give you the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gained during your degree to an industry-led project. You'll even have the chance to enlist one of our industry partners as your supervisor.Global MobilityStudents may be eligible to do an international field trip, organised by the academic staff. This may count towards a component of the degree, depending on the structure.
