Embark on a mission to drive technological change on the Continent with industry-relevant software engineering knowledge and skills you will acquire throughout your learning journey at ALU. Delivered in partnership with one of Silicon Valley’s top tech schools, the Holberton School, the BSE program will challenge you to innovate and learn by doing right from day one at ALU.
Students of the BSE program are equipped with a deep understanding of complex problems on the continent, how technology and innovation is defined in Africa and the role they will play as entrepreneurial technology leaders in solving Africa’s grand challenges. During their learning journey, BSE students gain the technical foundations of being excellent software engineers who will lead the fourth Industrial Revolution (4iR) and digital transformation of Africa.
Graduates of the Software Engineering programme stand out from the crowd with a strong portfolio of hands-on technical skills in mobile and web development, cloud computing, user experience design, and artificial intelligence and machine learning, bolstered by a plethora of in-demand skills like critical thinking, ethics in software engineering, leadership, quantitative reasoning, and entrepreneurial thinking.
Each student’s journey is unique. We believe that good grades alone are not the mark of a true leader. Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. As such, we are not only looking for those who are at the top of their class, but also those who have stories of impact and tackle problems without waiting for someone else to solve them.
Any prospective student must meet our general entry requirements and the programme specific requirements to be admitted into ALU.
Applicants supply evidence of :
A C average shall mean a point value of 12 or better. An average of C- shall not be considered to meet the minimum criteria.
Please note:
ALU’s Bachelor in Software Engineering program aims to produce graduates who have the knowledge and skills to apply best practices in software development, understand the software lifecycle, recognize ethical and professional responsibilities, and demonstrate an understanding of engineering design.
The BSE curriculum also emphasises the importance of social innovation and systems thinking, as well as the ability to analyse data, make evidence-based decisions, and consider the impact of solutions on various factors. At the end of the program, BSE students should be able to situate their chosen challenge/opportunity within a broader context, considering key stakeholders and ethical implications.
