Gbenga, SE is a specialized course. Most people that study SE do it at MSc level. There is compulsory prerequisite for doing this Course. Listen to the name Software Engineering. So you need to learn to write it before you can engineer it.

Software Engineering is not all about writing codes. It is all about learning principles rather to skills. A graduate with SE degree can come out and go into a CTO position without problem assuming he learned all the principles involved, i.e.  taking a vague and ambitious specifications and turn it into a system design that can be built and launched within a few months, with the most important-to-users and easy-to-develop features built first and the difficult bells and whistles deferred to a second version.

You see the principle, you cannot learn this by just studying codes. These days most university in the UK have started teachin SE at undergraduate level, I'd be suprise if no universities these days teaches SE

It is better to do a BSc Computer Science and come out with a good result at least 2:1 and go on to do MSc. Software Engineering, you'd come out and look at programmers like babies.
