Have you got a good app idea for your iPad? Want to work on computer games? Get ready to learn how it all comes together.
The ANU Bachelor of Software Engineering will keep you ahead of the pack with exceptional computing knowledge, business management and leadership skills. You will write programs, develop software, work for real-world clients, manage teams, design innovative solutions and implement them.
This education experience covers computer systems, programming and software development. Our degree ensures that you will soon be a desired professional engineer with problem-solving, product-development and project management skills.
What does it take to start a successful new business, to lead an organisation, to plan and manage a complex project? How do leaders negotiate, resolve conflict, and manage across cultures in the global workplace?
The BBA will answer these questions and, more importantly, help you develop skills to go out and do these things in the real world.
The BBA is flexible so you can build on your strengths. For example, you have a wide choice about how much mathematical content to include in your degree.
It's a great program for a flexible double combination with almost any other bachelor degree at ANU.

HONS4700 Final Honours Grade will be used to record the Class of Honours and the Mark. The Honours Mark will be a weighted average percentage mark (APM) calculated by first calculating the average mark for 1000,2000, 3000 and 4000 level courses. We denote these averages: A1, A2, A3, and A4 respectively. The averages are computed based on all units counted towards satisfaction of degree requirements, excluding non-COMP electives. Finally these averages are combined using the formula APM = (0.1 X A1) + (0.2 X A2) + (0.3 X A3) + (0.4 X A4).

Back to the Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) page
The Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) (BSEng) is a four year single degree accredited by Engineers Australia. The degree allows you to focus your study on Software Engineering
whilst exploring other interests in computing, engineering, science or any
discipline offered at ANU. You
will learn how to write programs, develop software, work for real-world
clients, manage teams, design innovative solutions and implement them.
The BSEng can be studied as a double degree.
Single degree
- This degree requires 192 units (each course is typically 6 units)
- Typically you will study four courses per semester (total of 24 units)
- You can study an Engineering or Science major (48 units) or any minor (24 units) but it is not a compulsory requirement of this degree
- 36 units of electives (six courses). These courses are used to study an Engineering or Science major or a range of courses from any ANU College.
Double degree
- This degree requires 144 units (each course is typically 6 units)
- There is an additional 12 units counting towards both Software Engineering and the other half of your degree. The Software Engineering double degree program requirements outline which courses are double counted.
- Majors and minors are not compulsory in the BSEng
- There are no university electives in the double degree.
- You can find your double degree with BSEng from Program and Courses
About this degree
- Typically you will study 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 32 courses as a single BSEng degree
- The degree is made of up compulsory requirements, additional computing electives and 36 units (six courses) of electives
- You can study either an Engineering or Science major in the single degree
- In the double degree, you have no electives - your other degree requirements use up all of these
Enrolment Status
While it’s possible to enrol in fewer courses per
semester, which is called studying part-time, it will take you longer to finish
your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must
always be full-time.
Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses
- IF YOU ARE COMMENCING IN JULY YOU SHOULD SEND AN EMAIL TO <studentadmin.cecs@anu.edu.au> FOR ADVICE ABOUT YOUR ENROLMENT OR YOU SHOULD ATTEND AN ENROLMENT ADVICE SESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY IN THE WEEK BEFORE SEMESTER COMMENCES.
- If you studied ACT Maths Methods, or are not confident in your Maths ability, please FOLLOW THE ADVICE HERE
-
Students who excel in maths and have done the highest level of maths available to them at school should read the following:
- When you enrol for the first time you will study '1000-level' courses. These courses have '1' as the first number in their course code, such as COMP1100. The exception to this is COMP2400 which you will take in first year.
- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester
- You can’t study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year
- You may take 1000-level courses later in your program. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree or six 1000-level courses (36 units) towards your BSEng half of the double degree.
Majors and Minors
See available majors and minors for this program
Majors and
minors are not compulsory in the BSEng. You can study a Computing (except
Software Development) or Engineering or Science major (48 units) or
specialisation or minor in a single BSEng or double degree if your other degree
is a Bachelor of Science. Computing specialisations and minors in any
discipline are possible in a single BSEng.
Electives
If you are in the single degree then in your first year you have two electives to choose. These will normally be Science or Engineering electives. If you choose non science/engineering electives, you will need to do the science / engineering electives later in your degree.
To find 1000-level elective courses, use the catalogue search. Suggested electives in your first year:
Semester 1 - PHYS1001 or PHYS1101 or other Science/Engineering courseSemester 2 – ENGN1218 or other Science/Engineering course
Other science/engineering options in Semester 1 include MATH1003(see note about maths in 'important things to keep in mind' section above), PSYC1003, STAT1003, BIOL1003. Other options in Semester 2 include PSYC1004, STAT1008

About this degree
Single degree
In a Bachelor of Business Administration single degree
program you will study a total of 144 units. Typically you will take 4
courses per semester (total
of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 24 courses
across
your whole degree.
You will need to complete a minimum of 16 CBE courses (96 units) but will also get to choose 8 courses (48 units) from other ANU Colleges. You can try a range of courses or take a major or minor in a non-CBE subject, the choice is yours.
Double degree
In a Bachelor of Business Administration double degree
program you will study a total of 16 courses (96 units). Typically you will take 4
courses per semester (total
of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 16 courses (96 units)
across
your whole degree. However, for each semester you are likely to take 2
courses from your Business Administration degree and then 2 courses from the other half
of you degree - still a total of 4 courses a semester.
Enrolment Status
It is possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester but it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must always be enrolled full-time in 24 units each semester.
Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses
When you enrol for the first time you will study ‘1000-level’
courses. These courses have ‘1’ as the first number in their course
code, such as BUSN1001.
Please also note that:
- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.
- You cannot study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year.
- You may take 1000-level courses later in your program. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) in total towards your single degree.
Electives
You can use your electives to enrol in any courses that you like, provided you meet prerequisite requirements.
Remember that you can choose up to 8 courses from another ANU College if you are undertaking the single Bachelor of Business Administration degree.
If you are in a double degree, your electives must be CBE courses.
Don't forget the maximum number of 1000 level courses is 10
in single degree.
