MSc in Digital Innovation & ManagementIn the MSc programme in Digital Innovation & Management, you will be equipped with knowledge, skills and tools for understanding and managing complex and often turbulent processes of digital change and innovation in a wide variety of organisations.

As digital technologies continuously and rapidly evolve they affect organisations, people and society in new and surprising ways. To handle these changes and challenges of digitalisation of already computerised systems require the ability to make informed and timely decisions and adjustments during strategic, tactical, organisational and practical tasks in management and governance. This relies on a deep understanding of people, technology and digital change.... [-]

MSc in Software Development

Software Development gives you access to cutting-edge knowledge in software design, programming languages, databases, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, algorithms, software development processes, requirements, organization, and management.

Whether you hold a bachelor in computer science, or in business and marketing, we help you to grow research level expertise in software science.... [-]

To be accepted into the master’s programme in Computer science, you need to complete a relevant bachelor programme.The Computer science programme gives you a broad knowledge of information technology focussed on algorithmic techniques which form the basis for developing effective and secure modern software solutions. It also emphasises principles which will also be relevant in the next decade.In the master’s programme in Computer science, you continue developing your insight into scientific theories and methods, your experience with working independently with complex problems (business related or scientific questions) as well as your ability to express yourself clearly on academic subjects and mediate these to others.The master’s programme thus qualifies you to participate in scientific works and independently undertake business functions based on these abilities.The scientific aspect of the master’s programme is most evident in the final thesis project which lasts a year. Work on the project is done in close contact with a supervisor and often in connection with the supervisor’s own research.It must be said, though, that the master’s programme is not a research degree as such. To achieve these credentials, one must complete a PhD.A large part of the programme consists of a free choice of courses. The selection of these is updated every quarter. The end result is that you can piece together a very focused degree, regardless of whether you aim for the business sector or teaching and research in Computer science.... [-]

Intelligent products of the future will change the work and play off people. To do this requires empathy and responsibility on the part of designers to envision these changes. It requires a critical and open-minded attitude. It requires competencies beyond traditional engineering and computer science to engage in a multidisciplinary team for the development of successful products and services which benefit the world.IT Product Design educates such designers.

Who are we?

IT Product Design is a part of a fruitful environment at the Mads Clausen Institute where research and teaching are closely connected. The Design research group, led by professor Jacob Buur, is housing SPIRE (Sønderborg Participatory Research Centre), a research group concerned with research within:... [-]

Master of Engineering - Software Engineering (MSc)

As an MSc in Software Engineering, you will work with the development of future intelligent products that will make life easier for the users. You can, for instance, become a software developer, IT and systems architect or project manager. You can develop mobile apps, IT security and online solutions.

A full master of science in engineering degree is a three-year bachelor degree combined with a two-year master programme. Half of your study comprises elective courses, a bachelor project and your master thesis. Moreover, it is possible to go abroad for one or two semesters.

Study environment

Each year more than 1500 international students from all over the world choose to study at the University of Southern Denmark, so you will become part of a lively international student environment.We believe that engineers of today must have a global perspective and experience and we encourage international as well as Danish students to spend one or two semesters abroad on an internship or as exchange students.Faculty of Engineering has adopted a student-centred approach to learning, and teaching is based on problem-based project work. Students participate significantly in class and carry out project work in small teams.... [-]

What do you prefer – to lean back and watch science fiction movies with the rest of the world, or to make the ‘science facts’ of the future? Robots with artificial intelligence that recognise people and adapt to their individual needs. Robot technology that saves lives at the hospitals, makes all the technology in your home communicate with each other, or makes your car drive itself ... and safer.As a master student, you can choose to concentrate on one of the research areas: Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Embedded Systems or Computer Vision.
