Postgraduate Diploma in Science - Software Engineering

Computer information and control systems have become increasingly embedded into the very fabric of human society. They control our clocks, washing machines, motor vehicles, traffic lights, the electric power to our homes, and the essential processes of our production economy. These computer systems are complex and can no longer be thought of as standalone entities. They are typically components of much larger, complex systems involving hardware, software, people, and all the unpredictable events in the natural world. So it is essential that those building these complex systems be equipped with advanced techniques not taught in ordinary computer programming courses.
Software engineering requires modelling and understanding complex interactive systems, as well as identifying how the performance of computer information systems can be improved. It also includes managing the construction of the information system components, and ensuring procedures are in place for continual testing and maintenance. You'll be able to join a highly sought-after profession. New Zealand's (and the world's) future depends on having technical experts who can oversee the construction of the complex information systems that will underpin the new knowledge-based society. You'll gain the expertise to enter a fast-growing industry with highly-paid job opportunities, where innovation is rewarded. You'll discover the satisfaction of devising and modelling systems, and then testing them under a range of operating conditions.
