Well I've been looking at uni courses, and some have titles like "Software Engineer" or "Software Developemnt"
Is there a difference?

"Software Development" is probably just normal programming
"Software Engineering" is hardcore structured programming (usually in C/C++) - you need to do loads of documentation and stuff like that... but at the end of it you will walk into any job you like (and probably get paid much more too) ;) It's much harder, but might be worth it if you want to go in that direction when you leave uni.
There is really a difference between a programmer and an analyst. Some people do it both, others not. The last ones are mostly engineer or people who don't know a thing about programming, but obtain a huge salary anyway...
