Software Engineering (SEM)

This Master's programme enables graduates to make tactical and strategic decisions in the selection and application of information processing systems and tools and to participate in research and methodological development in the field of software engineering. Furthermore, it enables graduates to lead and manage software engineering projects. To give the students the opportunity to develop content-related focal points, three professional profiles are offered. The IT Management (ITM) profile enables graduates to understand the impact of technological changes on business strategy, select adequate information processing systems, and apply techniques to guide and promote change and innovation processes. They will be able to moderate team discussions in a digital or face-to-face environment and apply management methods in an intercultural environment. They will have experience in the assessment of technologies in the application area of medicine. The Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) profile enables graduates to analyse user needs, define user requirements, design mock-ups and prototypes, develop interactive computing systems, and to plan and conduct different types of evaluation. On the one hand graduates will be able to understand the needs of their users, and on the other hand they will be able to develop the desired solutions. Graduates of the Advanced Software Engineering & Data Science (ASE) profile will be able to design, evaluate, and engineer enterprise scale applications and software systems based on state-of-the-art principles. Above all, they will be able to address and solve complex technological and engineering problems in teams. They will focus on data-driven problems and apply appropriate technological and scientifically based solutions.
