About this program
UQ's Master of Software Engineering (Professional) is a 2-year, provisionally Engineers Australia accredited degree covering software design, development and systems architecture at an advanced level. Students complete a research project as part of the program, working on real software engineering problems, and study courses including engineering innovation and leadership and information retrieval and management. The degree responds to strong global demand for skilled software professionals, and UQ notes graduates go on to work at organisations including SAP, Oracle, IBM, LinkedIn and Google. It suits computer science or IT graduates who want a professionally accredited engineering qualification rather than a general computing degree. Typical graduate roles include software engineer, information security analyst, software developer and network and systems engineer.
