Software systems are in an increasing way supporting most activities of human endeavour, which puts emphasis on the quality of their design, development, testing, deployment and operations. Software engineering integrates skills, techniques and tools for systematic support of these activities, with emphasis on guaranteed quality of the software product. The goal of the study programme is to build the competencies of the students related to software engineering, including their understanding of deeper relations necessary when developing large-scale software systems, where each individual design decision critically impacts the quality and vitality of the final system or service. An integral part of the education is the practical training in terms of software development, as well as working within a software team, including experience with team-leading. These skills are necessary for meeting the expectations of the relevant job positions in industry. The practical skills will be acquired mainly within internships in industry but also when working on projects under the supervision of experts from practice. Given that the degree program is accredited in a professional profile, the curriculum includes a compulsory practice block. The study applicant is expected to have intermediate knowledge of programming in the chosen object-oriented language, or the willingness to complete this knowledge during the course of study. At the same time, the applicant is expected to know English at least at the B2 level, which is necessary for working with study materials in English and cooperation with students and teachers from abroad.

The graduates of this study programme are equipped for the position of a senior software developer (in case of the Design and development of software systems) and a deployment (or DevOps) engineer (in case of the Deployment and operations of software systems), including leading roles within software development teams.

Requirements for successful graduation

• Obtain at least 120 credits overall and pass the final state exam.
