Best Masters in Technology Studies in Switzerland 2017/2018. Software plays a pivotal role in almost all aspects of our life, including transportation, communication, economy, and healthcare. We put trust in software to accomplish complex and vital tasks for us, such as managing our finances, sharing our family and friends memories, diagnosing diseases, flying airplanes or driving cars. These systems manipulate and generate an unprecedented amount of data. In such a scenario, software cannot be understood without its data and data becomes valuable only thanks to the software analyzing it. Why enroll in the Master in Software and Data Engineering (MSDE) at USI? Top qualification MSDE is a unique opportunity for students to become highly qualified software and data engineers able to effectively deal with the increasing complexity of modern software systems and with the gigantic amount of data they generate and manipulate. Renowned professors Courses are taught by internationally renowned academics. Since it opened in 2004, the USI Faculty of Informatics has been climbing to the top positions in the csrankings.org lineup for European universities for what concerns Software Engineering research. It now ranks 2nd in Europe, and 15th worldwide. Importance of data and software Nowadays software cannot be understood without its data and data becomes valuable only thanks to the software analyzing it. This is why only an integrated study program in both software and data engineering represents cutting-edge knowledge and skills relevant for the development, maintenance, and evolution of next-generation ultra-large software systems living in a world of...
