B.Sc Software Engineering
Nigeria (and indeed sub-Saharan Africa) represents virgin territory for the software industry and the field in turn presents huge opportunities for the region within the context of an expanding global economy.
It is well known that the software industry is the only one that wealth can be created from zero or near-zero capital- only intellectual capital is needed. There is therefore the need for Nigeria to grow its own crop of software engineers as a force for sustainable socio-economic development.
In lieu of the aforementioned, the B.Sc Software Engineering program will focus on imparting the knowledge and practical skills that will enable students understand the principles and practice of software systems design, development and maintenance. This should enable them to be able to balance software system design and development with safety, reliability, cost and scheduling especially for large scale systems.
