This might be due to different naming conventions in different countries. Software engineering is a common degree in Australia. Example: https://study.unimelb.edu.au/find/courses/graduate/master-of...

Though I doubt the content is that different to courses in other countries



I did a BSc(Comp Sci) in Australia (USyd) starting in 2010. A lot of my friends were doing the Software Engineering degree. We did the same courses and went to the same lectures, the only real differences were a) what faculty we were officially part of, and b) the words on the piece of paper we got at the end.

(I'm stretching the truth a little here because I also did a Maths major in addition to Comp Sci, but that was not part of my Comp Sci requirements so I think it's still valid to the point I'm trying to make, that the two degrees are functionally identical with different names)
