BSc in Engineering (Software Engineering)
Build reliable and scalable software systems
The bachelor’s programme in Software Engineering equips you with advanced technical and methodological skills to engineer software for all types of situations even for large and complex systems. You will learn to work systematically across the entire software engineering lifecycle: from conception and analysis to development, testing, integration, and maintenance.
What can you learn?
The programme prepares you to combine your engineering expertise with insights into businesses and society at large. You’ll learn to choose and apply appropriate methods and technologies – such as DevOps, AI or cloud computing - considering the user or organizational needs as well, or systems architecture – with responsibility and strategy. You’ll also be trained to collaborate across disciplines and cultures, while considering ethical challenges and the creation of new innovative technology.
