> What would you learn in a BSc Software Engineering that's not in a BSc Computer Science course that's not going to become redundant after a couple years and couldn't be covered in a module?
Requirements management, information security, software architecture, all the big picture topics that are applied and not theoretical in nature.
- exdsq 6y agoI took a module in my MSc in CS on these topics and they were boring, out of date, and things you learn as you need on the job anyway (I took a part-time MSc while working). They were also covered in just two modules. Sure, some courses could be up-to date but ultimately they'll be out of date in a couple years. Core concepts like OO are a bit more stable but you can be taught this in an applied sense or a theoretical sense and both are covered in a good CS course anyway.
