The focus of the MSE program at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is to teach the advanced state-of-the-art technologies in software development with hands-on experience and to apply the knowledge to some challenging real-world problems. The program will guide the students to acquire both technical skills and software project management skills that are required to lead and to carry out software development projects.

The MSE program is slightly different from the traditional Master's program in Computer Science. It specializes in software engineering theory and practice. It includes a limited subset of applications such as Databases and Computer Networks.

Graduates with an MSE degree are prepared to:... [-]

Learning objectives of the MPhil in Informatics, are the understanding of technology, its application, the development of critical thinking and scientific and technical communication. This course offers two specializations, Information Systems (I.S.) and Software Engineering (S.E.), where it is assumed that both develop a common knowledge base, particularly in modeling techniques, emerging technologies, project management and technological innovation; considering that these areas of expertise are the key to the two areas. However, specializations give different skills within the information technology field; S.I. students will be able to enhance the business through the use of technology and drive and lead S.I. of intervention activities using best practices; turn the E.S. students will be able to plan, manage and conduct development activities of highly complex software systems and to use emerging technology....

The SDM specialization trains students to become future Digital Leaders, who are able to innovate, suggest new contents, new uses, and new services, based on open source technologies or those of major publishers (Microsoft, Adobe, etc.). In a global context where digital technologies are becoming increasingly strategic, SDM prepares full-stack developers: they gain knowledge in system infrastructure database API and back-end programming, as well as front-end and project management techniques. At the end, students gain knowledge in Back-End, Front-End, Data Basis, mobile applications and video game development. They show technological diligence, strong listening skills and are able to manage the human factor linked to new uses.... [-]

Since its inception, School of Software Engineering(SSE) insists on reform and innovation. SSE has established cooperative relations with 24 famous universities and 34 well-known enterprises, actively carrying out joint programs, double degree programs and student exchange programs with European and American universities. International students and Chinese students study in the same class without limitation in course selection. SSE’s graduates, most of whom work in government departments, financial institutions, IT enterprises and research institutes, keep the employment rate 100% for eight consecutive years.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE offers a unique part-time Master’s course which is primarily run as a distance learning program by the Distance and International Studies Center (DISC). The course is geared to international participants and is therefore conducted entirely in English.

The master’s program in Software Engineering is based on one of our strong research profiles and is also run in very close collaboration with industry. The program is coupled to the newly established Software Center, which is a joint initiative by Chalmers and University of Gothenburg together with industry partners.

The program focuses on three key roles in software system development: Software Project Manager, Software Architect, and Software Quality Manager. The main perspectives for each of these roles are:

The master’s education in Software Engineering is targeting students who want to deepen their knowledge about model-driven engineering, software architectures, quality management, project management, and gain practical experience from working in software projects. There is also a potential for deeper studies in programming and design. ... [-]

Master of Software Engineering - 1 year

The proliferation and growing influence of software in business and our daily lives have been phenomenal. Software engineering deals with the design and development of high-quality software systems – and hence is an increasingly important area in computer science. In this programme, you will gain advanced knowledge and practical skills in software engineering.

The Programme

During this programme, you will acquire good theoretical knowledge and excellent skills in engineering software-intensive systems, which encompass the ability to cope with the complexity of understanding as well as developing them. You will acquire knowledge of principles for the analysis, design, and implementation of large and complex software systems. Students successfully completing this programme will be able to demonstrate the understanding of the methodologies and techniques of software management and to apply them to a range of development scenarios. You will be able to transcend global diversity and work in international teams. The industrial track will involve mentoring and thesis projects related to partner industries such as ABB, Ericsson or Volvo.... [-]

Today, traditionally hardware-dominated product domains are increasingly turning into software-dominated ones. Many of the companies and organizations in these transitional domains still employ mostly traditional engineers without solid education and training in software engineering. Representatives in the industry have expressed great demand for a part-time training program to re-train the existing professional engineering workforce in software engineering.

With this in mind, the DISC has developed this high-quality part-time distance program. The program, offered by the DISC since 2008, imparts theoretical scientific background knowledge as well as practical methods, techniques, and tools that equip the engineer to deal with software development for embedded systems issues....

Since its invention in 1989, the World Wide Web has long been the main driver of development and progress, not only in the ICT sector itself but also, and most importantly, in virtually all aspects of human life. Standing on the shoulders of the WWW's success, the introduction of smartphones brought about a new technological revolution, which many had foreseen as a necessary next step. Today, these two technological fields have converged into a common track, where applications and infrastructure are advancing hand-in-hand toward the vision of Ubiquitous Computing and Web 3.0. In our effort to address this trend we introduce the “MSc in Mobile and Web Computing” programme. It has been designed to provide a mixture of state-of-the-art knowledge in relevant computer science, communications, web and mobile technologies, blended with essential business skills. The lecture series by leading academic instructors from Greece and abroad, along with projects and dissertation work, mean that students graduate well equipped and highly competitive at international level....

Software has become a vital component of the infrastructure supporting our everyday life. Software systems are increasingly complex, and thus more difficult to build, yet they are subjects to increasingly strict standards of reliability, safety and security. At the same time, market pressure is increasing, development needs to be agile, and software must be built to evolve. All of this, coupled with the need for leading-edge applications make today’s software development an exciting technical challenge. Solid engineering principles are indispensable to delivering quality projects on time.... [-]
