Are software and apps your thing? Then this is the right degree program for you!
You think user-centered and still keep an eye on costs. You determine the requirements, develop the software concept, implement and then keep your program running. You have an overview of programming, software design and architecture, databases, networks and software quality assurance, business processes and operational information systems as well as IT security and IT risk management. Where do you work? The answer is simple: wherever software is used.
You alternate between the university and your partner company on a quarterly basis, i.e. every three months. The Talent Service will help you find a partner company.
You should choose the part-time course if you have already completed an apprenticeship, are working and would like to gain further qualifications alongside your job.
