I did Computer Science (not software engineering) as an engineering classified degree i.e MEng. The key difference is that it included more management and some other modules required to make the degree accredited by the IET to meet the UK-SPEC (UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence and Commitment) of the academic requirements for CEng (Chartered Engineer). This is pretty common in the UK if you do an "integrated masters" degree which is the path of least resistance to becoming professionally registered.
- pjmlp 3y agoAh, going sideways due to your "integrated masters" degree reference. Before Bologna, all Portuguese engineering degrees with 5 years, with masters and Phd, coming on top with additional 2 and 3 years respectively. There were exceptions like polytechnics being 4 years, but they were a small subset. With Bologna agreement reducing the standard set of years down to 3 years, that was felt like a downgrade, and so "integrated masters" degree was born to match the original 5 year degree, and everything remains as it was. Was it similar in UK?
