Our department was established in 2005 with the mission of educating qualified individuals capable of producing effective solutions by employing engineering approaches throughout the software lifecycle and contributing to the field of software engineering through scientific studies. The language of instruction is English.

Software Engineering primarily offers undergraduate and graduate-level education to train specialists in the field of software. The department’s curriculum is designed to promote learning by doing, project-based learning, and the creation of participatory learning environments. It also aims to help students gain industry experience through project work while ensuring they acquire the necessary theoretical knowledge in the best possible way.

Our department has an educational laboratory with a capacity of 45 students and a Virtual Reality Laboratory (VR-Lab) with a capacity of 21 students. In addition, five laboratories from the Computer and Information Systems Engineering programs are also used for educational purposes in courses.

Software Engineering programs are offered by 38 foundation (private) and 28 public universities in our country. There are also Software Engineering programs at 8 universities in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The program conducted in our department is aligned with the recommendations and standards of IEEE/ACM and SWEBOK and has been accredited by MÜDEK until September 30, 2025.
