What you will study
This is a two-year master's in Software Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark, taught in English in Sønderborg. The programme trains you to build intelligent software that makes life easier for users, and to improve the software we already rely on. You learn to see technology from both a technical and a user perspective.
What you study
The programme is built around five subject areas:
- Software Engineering: advanced theories, methods and techniques. You take responsibility for investigating software needs, identifying requirements, analysis, software design, interaction design, programming and testing. You also cover project management, change and configuration management, and quality management.
- Programming: advanced terminology and different paradigms, so you can design, construct and test reusable and complex software systems.
- Information Technology: emerging technologies in areas such as data management, artificial intelligence and interaction technologies. You learn to apply them in software development, choose technical platforms, and analyse what a choice means for a given problem.
- Industry and Society: software as an innovative element in an industrial and societal context. You learn to understand and describe user needs, the interplay between organisations and software development, innovation and globalisation.
- Engineering Foundation and Practice: scientific methods, engineering complex systems and industrial practice. This includes modelling problems, evidence-based research, searching scientific literature, reading scientific papers and writing a scientific survey, and applying your knowledge in an industrial setting.
