The Software Engineering degree at Universitas Prasetiya Mulya offers a comprehensive curriculum that prepares graduates for software engineering careers. The increasing integration of information communication systems in the lives of an urbanised demographic has led to a rising demand for software engineers in the country. Currently the Software Engineering degree at Universitas Prasetiya Mulya is offered at the undergraduate level and contains fundamental modules in hardware, computer architecture, computer systems and software development as well as operating systems. These subjects will enable students to develop the technical skills needed in the software engineering industry. Software Engineering students will also be exposed to programming, English language, business skills and applications such as Java. A proficiency in the English language will be essential when graduates are employed in multinational software development corporations.
Indonesia needs an adequate supply of software engineers to develop a base for software research and development (R&D). A highly-skilled workforce in this industry can result in significant export capabilities that can provide a source of economic growth for the country. As such, this can also encourage foreign investment in software R&D and stimulate growth of local businesses within this sector.
With recent Indonesian government policies aimed at greater investment in the telecommunication sector set to take hold, Universitas Prasetiya Mulya graduates are ready to capitalise in this regard and facilitate as well as produce locally-developed software products to the global market, increasing Indonesia’s software R&D quality and industrial competitiveness.
