Software Engineering - Specialization
Specialization: Software Engineering
Software plays a central role in almost all aspects of daily life, e.g. in finance, health care, government and telecommunications. The use of software systems has grown dramatically as has their complexity. Enormous amounts of money are spent every day on software development yet the resulting software does not always meet the user's requirements and is not always reliable. This specialization aims to give you the skills required to develop high-quality software products. It teaches well-founded methods, techniques, and tools for the modeling, construction, analysis and verification of software systems.
The student must follow the requirements in the general curriculum for the programme such that at least 25 ECTS points are obtained among the following courses:
| 02239 | Data Security | 7.5 | point | Autumn E5B (Wed 13-17) |
| 02245 | Program Verification | 7.5 | point | Autumn E1B (Thurs 13-17) |
| 02263 | Formal Aspects of Software Engineering | 5 | point | Autumn E1A (Mon 8-12) |
| 02266 | User Experience Engineering | 5 | point | January |
| 02267 | Software Development of Web Services | 5 | point | January |
| 02268 | Process-oriented and Event-driven Software Systems | 5 | point | Autumn E4A (Tues 13-17) |
| 02269 | Process Mining | 5 | point | Autumn E5A (Wed 8-12) |
| 02291 | System Integration | 5 | point | Spring F5A (Wed 8-12) |
The terminated courses 02221 Foundations of Distributed Systems (5 ECTS) and 02261 Software Startup Studio (5 ECTS) also count on the specialization.
Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
