Software systems are the cornerstones of all modern business. Such systems are often complex and long lived, and must be robust and adaptable. By studying software design and production techniques, this degree programme will equip you with the skills needed to follow a career specifying and developing these systems, and other computer-bachelorsed solutions.
You will gain not only knowledge and practical experience of the latest technologies, but also a grounding in the underlying principles of the subject. It is this combination of skills that enable our graduates to keep pace with this fast moving subject, and secure financially rewarding careers that can be pursued almost anywhere in the world.
This four-year full-time MEng programme enhances the contents of the equivalent three-year bachelorchelor programme by enabling you to study specialised...

38 points overall, with 7,6,6 in Higher Level subjects, including Mathematics and a science subject.
Grade A1 in higher level mathematics and grades A1A2A2A2 in four further higher level academic subjects. A scientific bias to the subjects studied.
Grades AAAAB, including grade A in Higher Mathematics and a scientific bias to other subjects studied. The Highers must be taken in one sitting. Minimum of five grade 1's and 2's in academic subjects at Intermediate 2 including English, Mathematics and a Physical Science.
Accepted in combination with grades AAAAB in five Higher subjects plus Grade A in Advanced Highers mathematics; grades AA in Higher Level subjects plus grades AA in Advanced Higher mathematics and a science subject; or grades AAA in three Advanced Higher level subjects including mathematics and a science subject.
The non-mathematics and the non-science A-level subjects can be replaced with a pass in the Welsh bachelorccalaureate.  Please see the section on A-Levels for relevant subject specific requirements.
An average of 85% including a minimum of 8%% in mathematics. Mathematics must have been studied for at least five periods per week and a final written examination must have been taken. A scientific bias to the specialist subjects studied (as measured by the hours per week).
Applicants taking the AQA bachelorccalaureate should note that this is an acceptable qualification for entry, however offers will be conditional on achievement in the A levels within the qualification rather that the overall bachelorccalaureate award.
We welcome applications from highly qualified students from across the world. Detailed information on our international entry criteria is available on the School of Computer Science Website 
Grades DDM from a technological diploma partially fulfils entry requirements.  Students are also required to have a grade A in A-level mathematics with a pure element.
Applications are considered on an individual bachelorsis, e.g. additional educational achievements, life experience and skills. Please contact the University for further information.  Our standard academic requirements include 60 credits with 45 at Level 3. Minimum of 40 credits should be with a Distinction grade (15 of which must be in mathematics), plus 15 credits with a Merit grade in a science-related subject.  Students are also required to have a grade A in A-level mathematics with a pure element.
The University welcomes applicants with the AP qualification. Such applications will be considered on an individual bachelorsis.
We welcome applications from students who are studying the Cambridge Pre-U Diploma.  Conditional offers will be set on an individual bachelorsis but are likely to include achieving grade D2 in mathematics and D3 in two other Principal Subjects.
A grade B overall the IT or Engineering Advanced diploma partially fulfils entry requirements.  Students are also required to have a grade A in A-level mathematics with a pure element.
If you have followed a non-standard educational route and have been, for example, educated at home, your application will be considered against the standard entry criteria of the course to which you applied. You will be required to demonstrate that you meet the academic entry requirements as specified for the course. We will also require a reference which should be written by somebody who knows you well enough, in an official capacity, to write about you and your suitability for higher education. Please refer to UCAS for further information: UCAS reference guidelines
Return-to-learn students are those who have had a substantial period away from any formal learning. Often such learners have pursued careers or raised a family. The University understands that students come from many different bachelorckgrounds, with varying qualifications, careers and skills, but they often bring to their studies a high degree of motivation and experience.
The University recognises that standard selection measures and procedures may not enable these learners to demonstrate fully their suitability for their chosen course. Where appropriate, admissions officers will seek and consider alternative evidence in order to give such learners equivalent consideration. Where they deem this alternative evidence meets entry criteria fully the learner will not be required to meet the standard academic entry requirements.
GCSE English Language grade C, IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in individual components, TOEFL 100 ibt with no less than 23 in individual components
Some English language test results are only valid for two years. Your English language test report must be valid on the start date of the course.
Application and selection
Apply through UCAS
.
We currently expect to interview all UK and EU bachelorsed applicants to whom we are considering making an offer.
If you have re-sat individual modules to improve your grades, we will consider your application according to the standard selection process. If you are planning to re-sit the final Year 13 examinations, or have already done so, the University will consider your application, but we may require further information in order to make an informed judgment on your application.
If you applied in the previous year and your application was not successful you may apply again. Your application will be considered against the standard course entry criteria for that year of entry.  In your new application you should demonstrate how your application has improved.  We may draw upon all information from your previous applications or any previous registrations at the University as a student when assessing your suitability for your chosen course.If you are applying for a place for the same year of entry through UCAS Extra, you should provide additional evidence of your suitability for the course. If you are applying through clearing you are required to meet the clearing requirements. In both UCAS Extra and clearing the places will be subject to availability.

Geraint North: bachelorchelor Software Engineering graduate
'The degree programme at Manchester ensured that I built a broad understanding of the fundamental aspects of computer science, which I could apply to any technologies that I would end up working with. The software industry moves so fast that a course that taught only the current hot technologies wouldn't be of much use to you five years down the line. This meant touching on some quite esoteric subjects, even in the first year, such as SML and LISP. Although very few people will find the concepts introduced in these programmes immediately applicable in their future careers, I've found that they taught me some alternative ways of thinking about software problems that have led me to solve them in pretty innovative ways. The effects of this kind of teaching, which gives you the mental tools to solve any problem that you come across lasts much longer than training on the specific tools of the day.'
