Software Engineering BSc vs BEng?

What is the difference between Software Engineering BSc and BEng? Do employers later look on whether it was one of either?
It may have had a purpose at one point in time, some subjects and universities may still use it (even then, it's not particularly useful really), but for software engineering at least there's no useful difference between BSc or BEng. A lot of universities don't even bother using 'BEng' because it's not useful or meaningful to anybody, and causes unnecessary confusion. Employers don't care about the title of your degree, nor whether it's BSc or BEng

When you're applying for graduate jobs, you'd generally list all the modules you'd studied on your CV, and use your CV to describe all the skills you've picked up, and make reference to any relevant work experience as well as projects you've worked on (particularly your final year project). Employers are interested in knowing about your analytical, technical and problem solving skills - those will get you interviews and job offers rather than what happens to be printed on your qualifications.
