What you will study
The MSc in Software Engineering at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense is a two-year master's programme taught in English. It is for people who want to build software that works for the people who use it, not just software that runs.
What you study
The programme is built around five subject areas, each with its own purpose.
- Software Engineering: advanced theories, methods and techniques. You learn to take responsibility for the whole chain: investigating the need for software, identifying requirements, analysis, software design, interaction design, programming and testing. Project management, change and configuration management, and quality management are part of it too.
- 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 choose a technical platform and analyse what that choice means for a given software engineering problem.
- Industry and Society: software as an innovative element in an industrial and societal context. You work with user needs, the interplay between organisations and software development, innovation and globalisation.
- Engineering Foundation and Practice: scientific methods, engineering complex systems and industrial practice. That includes modelling problems, evidence-based research, searching scientific literature, reading scientific papers and writing a scientific survey, plus applying what you learn in an industrial setting.
