B.Sc. Software Engineering
Software Engineering is concerned with the development of large and complex software intensive systems. It focuses on real-world requirements, precise specification of system functionality and behavior, cost-effective and timely implementation of these specifications, and quality assurance to ensure that the specifications have been properly realized, that the requirements have been met, and that they continue to be met during the life-time of the system.
The Software Engineering program will be offered only at the Abu Dhabi campus.
