Bachelor Of Software Engineering

This programme integrates computer science, programming, art/design, social science, and business knowledge, with a focus on the leading industries of Cloud Computing, AI, Cyber Security, Game Development, and Web & App Development. Real-world team projects equip you with the skills to make a meaningful impact.

Traditional computer science degrees focus on software engineering, programming and mathematics.

But Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Game Development and Web and App Development are some of the biggest industries worldwide today, which is why these are the focus of our degree.

We offer a transdisciplinary programme bringing computer science, programming, art and design, social science and business knowledge together with project work so our students have the knowledge and skills to make a difference in a real-world team. 

You will graduate with a Bachelor of Software Engineering (Level 7).

At Yoobee we have close partnerships with the tech industry.  From our alliance with IBM, who help deliver our AI and Cyber Security elective courses, to Datacom who offer Tech Scholarships for our Bachelor of Software Engineering Degree
