The Master's Programme in Software Engineering and Digital Transformation focuses on developing advanced knowledge and expertise for the design and development of software and digital services and the digital transformation of business processes.
The programme addresses the application of engineering principles of software and systems development, including design methodologies, business process and service modelling and re-engineering, operation principles, and maintenance and quality assurance approaches.
Digital transformation in this context refers to the change associated with the application of the software engineering body of knowledge to the transformation and modernisation of digital assets of business and industry.
The programme's basic courses can be completed as distance learning, but the attendance requirements of advanced and elective studies vary. Students admitted to the programme should prepare to attend classes on campus as needed.
You can specialise in one of two areas: Software Engineering or Digital Transformation.
The Software Engineering specialisation builds on Bachelor's studies in software engineering and aims to develop professional skills in this discipline. Continuing from the common topics of software engineering and other areas of information technology, such as software development, quality assurance and testing or software design, this specialisation provides opportunities for students to engage in and develop abilities for research.
The Digital Transformation specialisation aims to build expertise in software and service design and redesign, business process re-engineering and digitalisation for modern businesses, and industry workflow digitalisation.
This specialisation offers a fresh start to those who have previously studied 24 ECTS credits or more in computer science or related disciplines (IT/IS or software engineering) but do not have a Bachelor's degree in that domain. The specialisation aims to develop professional skills in this discipline and to provide opportunities for students to engage in research and develop their research.
