Bachelor
This programme equips students with the skills to design, develop, and manage large-scale software systems, incorporating a three-month internship and the Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certification. Graduates receive dual degrees from Sunway University and Lancaster University, enhancing their employability in the software engineering field.
Software systems have become the cornerstone of all modern businesses. These systems are often complex yet must be robust and adaptable. This programme will equip you with the knowledge and understanding of user requirements in analysing, modelling, designing, and developing large-scale software systems that are reliable and robust. Such Software Engineering (SE) specialists will be able to respond to the ever growing impact of large-scale software systems in a wide range of situations, as well as to the increased importance in safety-critical and mission-critical applications.
With the technical content gained as well as the practical aspects of architecture design, software development, software processes, software project management, software testing and software maintenance issues, you will be prepared to meet challenges of the industry and have the competency to develop new and innovative solutions. The three-month internship incorporated into the programme, will provide you with the opportunity to apply theories in practice and prepare you to enter the workforce.
This programme includes the Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) professional certification which incorporates software testing components within the curriculum of this degree programme. The CTFL is a globally accredited software testing professional certification fully accredited by the Malaysian Software Testing Board (MSTB), the national body representing the industry interests in promoting Software Quality Assurance (SQA) and software testing as core competencies in the development of software-dependent quality products and services. This industry-linked certificate will be an added advantage for the students, making them highly employable graduates.
On successful completion of the programme, graduates will also be awarded a degree from Lancaster University. They will be awarded two certificates, making them graduates of both Sunway University and Lancaster University.

Specific Requirements
Credit in Additional Mathematics at SPMB in Advanced Mathematics in UECor its equivalent
Candidates with the following qualifications or itsequivalent:* STPM (Arts Stream)* STAM* A-Level* Matriculation or Foundation* Diploma in Science and Technology
who do not have Additional Mathematics at SPM level or its equivalent may be admitted with a credit in Mathematics and any one of the Science, Technology or Engineering subjects at SPM level or its equivalent.
Candidates need to enrol and pass a Mathematics Enhancement subject at the beginning of the study.
The above requirements can be excluded if the Foundation / Matriculation programmes offered a Mathematics subject and the achievements are equivalent / higher than a requirement of a credit in Additional Mathematics at SPM level or equivalent.
Additional Requirements for Certain International Students
International students from certain countries that want to take some Sunway University degree programmes (for example programmes in partnership with Lancaster University) will need to take and pass our online six-month International Preparatory Programme (IPP) to be eligible to enrol on a Sunway degree programme that also leads to a degree certificate awarded by Sunway's partner institution. Students are required to pass all the subjects with grade C or above to progress to the degree.
