I did a course that was mostly CS with some SE (SWE) modules. In the first year the SE modules were about team work, version control, development methologies, requirements analysis and so forth.
In the second year the SE modules were mostly a practical team project, collaborating with another remote team from another University, designing and developing PDA and desktop geocaching software, for a client (representatives from IBM).
I strongly believe that for doing this course/project we were much better suited to industry, having developed soft skills that could otherwise go a miss from an academic course.
Alongside this we also has the theoretical CS modules, so it seemed like a good mix, and you could specialise however you liked in your final year.
