Ph.D. Software Engineering
The use of technology has increased over the years, eventually leading to an increase in demand for software engineering. The Doctor of Philosophy in Software Engineering (Ph.D. - SE) programme takes an applied approach to Software Engineering and research. It provides a broad area for scholars to do their extensive research in their specialized area which is related to software engineering, to record the unbiased and systematic observations, accurate documentation and interpretation of facts and phenomena with a view to generating a body of knowledge. Research scholars will get hands-on experience, explore advanced topics, learn the very latest concepts and have the opportunity to propose their own research. They will also be able to build a portfolio of work while completing their doctoral studies.
