Software – Shaping the Future!

Software plays a major role in almost every area of modern life. It must therefore function stably and reliably, and be adapted to the needs of its users. Students in the Software Engineering program learn to design and develop new software, as well as to adapt and reuse existing software.

This study program focuses on teaching methods for software development as well as models for ensuring and verifying software quality. Another key component of the program is practical work in typical software development scenarios.
