Embark on a transformative journey with APU University Malaysia Bachelor's (Hons) in Software Engineering program. Explore a myriad of invaluable insights and skills, detailed below:

What you will learn in a glance?

In the first year, students will learn fundamental skills required by IT professionals. They will develop a basic understanding of programming, problem-solving skills, algorithmic skills, mathematical techniques, and systems analysis and design. Specialized modules will provide them with basic knowledge of underlying computer systems such as computer architecture, operating systems, networking, and databases. The curriculum will also focus on developing personal and organizational skills, as well as nurturing creativity and innovation. By the end of this level, students will have a strong foundation in programming, problem-solving, systems analysis and design, and a basic understanding of computer systems.

Moving into the second year, students will acquire a broader range of skills in software engineering. They will gain a better understanding of design paradigms, programming languages, and algorithms used for developing large-scale and complex software systems. The curriculum will cover the entire software lifecycle, including methodologies for specification, design, development, testing, evaluation, analysis, and maintenance of software systems. Creativity, innovation, and independent learning will continue to be nurtured to prepare students for the workplace. By the end of this level, students will have developed expertise in software engineering, software design principles, and the ability to develop and maintain complex software systems.

During the 16-week internship or industrial training,  students will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a real-world working environment. This practical experience will help students bridge the gap between theory and practice, preparing them for a smooth transition from the classroom to the professional world. The internship will allow them to enhance their skills, gain industry insights, and develop the necessary professional competencies.

In the third year, students will build upon the foundation of previous studies and industrial experience. Students will further extend their familiarity with software engineering and refine their personal and professional development. They will focus on advanced system design methods to improve software design, organization, and maintainability, enabling them to develop concise and powerful software applications. The final year project will require students to investigate and develop a solution for a real-world problem, demonstrating their ability to combine technical knowledge, critical thinking, and analytical skills. This project will result in the creation of a personal achievement portfolio. By the end of this level, students will have advanced their expertise in software engineering, and system design, and demonstrated their abilities to solve complex real-world problems.
