Introduction
I am everywhere! Ordering tickets for a concert, applying for a student loan, calling your friend who is away on a study trip – this and more can all be done online nowadays. IT specialists play a key role in keeping such day-to-day activities running smoothly. The Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering is an excellent preparation for a dynamic career. Are you keen to design and develop creative applications?
Projects in collaboration with professionals
Starting from the first year you will already be working on practical ICT assignments. The work ranges from gathering the requirements to designing and building solutions, testing, and submitting them.
Choose your route
The world of ICT is wide-ranging. After acquiring the necessary technical know-how in the first two years, you will choose your area of specialization in software engineering during the main phase of the program.
International work
When co-operating in international teams you will discover that expectations regarding management, dealing with colleagues, giving feedback, asking questions, and so forth, differ owing to cultural differences. You will learn how this affects communication in IT and how we can deal with it in global teams.
