"The telecommunications industry offers steady, year-round employment. Computer software engineers and systems software developers receive the highest average weekly earnings of non-supervisory workers in the Telecommunications Industry." Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Career Guide to Industries, 2006-07 Edition. "Information and communication technologies (ICT) are a powerful driver for economy-wide productivity, growth and jobs – and are arguably Europe’s best-bet investment for the future. A quarter of the EU’s GDP growth and 40% of our productivity growth are due to ICT. The ICT industry generates 8% of Europe’s GDP and employs 6% of its workforce." i2010 - A European Information Society for growth and employment Brussels, 1 June 2005 PROGRAMME RATIONALE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The software and the telecommunications industries are both at the forefront of the information age. The Information and Communication Technologies have become the largest and most rapidly developing sectors of the European Union and world economy. Furthermore, the constant growth of the Internet leads to the emergence of new technologies, novel services, and innovative products. Moreover, the emergence of new markets in the software and telecommunications sector in Southeastern Europe have given rise to growing demand for highly skilled and specialised professionals in this field. In this rapidly evolving industry, continuous education is important for telecommunication and software engineers. Professionals must keep their job skills and knowledge up to date. Increased knowledge of the new technologies from the fields of both software engineering and telecommunications is of paramount importance. PROGRAMME AIM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The programme focuses on integrating the fields of Software Engineering and Telecommunications, aiming to enhance students’ knowledge and skills of contemporary software engineering techniques and technologies. Additionally, this programme provides students with the essential knowledge in order to develop and support innovative, agile and robust software solutions for the rapidly evolving and transforming field of telecommunications. BCS ACCREDITATION >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The MSc in Software Engineering and Telecommunications is accredited by the British Computer Society. Exemption from the BCS Professional Examination provides the academic base for the BCS professional qualification, leading towards Corporate Membership and BCS Chartered IT Professional.
MSc IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING LEARNING OUTCOMES >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> By the end of the programme graduates will have: • developed the technical and managerial skills needed to be an effective leader within the software industry. • acquired knowledge and skills in the key areas of existing and emerging software techniques (such as Internet Enterprise Applications, Service Oriented Architecture and Web services) against competitive software market needs. • a thorough understanding of products and services offered in the Telecommunication sector. • acquired advanced knowledge in software engineering theory and practices. • gained the ability to apply the knowledge acquired on the programme to designing, developing and testing software used in Telecommunication business. • the ability to study, analyse, and critically evaluate research done in the area of software engineering and telecommunications. • the academic and professional qualifications to pursue a further academic or professional career.
