About

The Diploma of Software Engineering offers fundamentals in software engineer knowledge and skills with two specialisations available: Game Programming and Artificial Intelligence. You will explore the field of software engineering, developing the fundamentals of algorithm and data structure design, software engineering project management and ethical development and research practices.

The structure of these courses consists of a common software engineering core, specialisation and elective subjects, allowing you to sharpen your technical skills, industry knowledge and proficiency in developing functioning applications. From here, you can move directly into a specialised bachelor or get straight to work in the industry.

With successful completion of this diploma, you can receive credits for the subjects you complete and  gain  entry into the second year of a Bachelor  degree.
