The S<strong>of</strong>tware Engineering programmeteaches the principles <strong>of</strong> modern s<strong>of</strong>tware engineering, togetherwith the tools, methods, and techniques that support theirapplication.

We must also be able torely on the integrity <strong>of</strong> the systems, and thus the informationthat they hold and provide. What is more, our society and oureconomy depend upon certain pieces <strong>of</strong> information being heldin confidence. The S<strong>of</strong>tware and Systems Security Programme<strong>of</strong>fers nine courses on the theme <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware and systemssecurity, covering different aspects <strong>of</strong> availability, integrity, andconfidentiality.|| Length <strong>of</strong> programme: One to four years, part-time|| Core and optional courses: Nine courses in s<strong>of</strong>tware andsystems security: www.s<strong>of</strong>teng.ox.ac.uk/courses/security.html, with optional courses from the S<strong>of</strong>tware Engineeringprogramme: www.s<strong>of</strong>teng.ox.ac.uk/courses/subjects.html|| Programme specification:www.s<strong>of</strong>teng.ox.ac.uk/documents/specification/|| We reserve the right not to run all or part <strong>of</strong> the programmeif the number <strong>of</strong> successful applicants falls below a minimumthresholdϐϐ<strong>Graduate</strong> DestinationsStudents on these programmes are normally already in full-timeemployment.
