Bachelor of Software Engineering (BSE) Program

A bachelor’s degree in software engineering will help students to secure a place in the future of this top-rated profession and prepare them to create the next generation of software systems. The hiring outlook for software engineers is favorable, thanks largely to new, exciting technology like smart phones, tablet applications, and cloud (online-hosted) software. Software engineers design and develop software applications and systems. The working environment of software engineers is team-based, and at IMSciences, students will have plenty of opportunities to hone their team working skills.

This is a four- year degree program which is aimed to provide the following objectives:

  1. To prepare students for entry into the Software Engineering profession in such a way as to quip them with the skills for personal and professional management
  2. To inculcate in students problem-solving and other transferable skills, which are essential for their career development.
  3. To motivate students for progression to higher degrees in Computing and in Software Engineering.
