Software Engineering

In this Software Engineering (MSc) programme, students not only learn the current challenges in software design and architecture, but they are also taught to develop solutions to these challenges. They will also learn about the emerging trends in pattern recognition and vehicular technologies. Students will learn to build software and design and implement smart software using cloud computing and machine learning.

The subject areas specifically considered in this degree program include:

•     Advanced software design and analysis technology
•     Processing of large amounts of data
•     Vehicular technologies including sensors and networks
•     Smart systems and decision-making systems
•     The creation of parallel computing or distributed software (Internet of Things, mobile apps)
•     Pattern precognition for detecting objects to be used in smart systems and autonomous driving
•     The creation and maintenance of complex software products
•     Security and reliability issues
•     The transition to and operation of software products

Each course is delivered by an industry expert in the subject. Teaching methods include classroom learning practicals and group work; class sizes are kept small to facilitate interaction and to promote effective learning. Each subject is taught at least once a year (and some are taught two) and most can be studied in any order; this helps to provide the kind of flexibility required by students with existing commitments.

We are offering a pre-intensive course in “Programming” starting this winter semester 2021 in a digital format.

The University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) is an accredited higher education institution awarded with multiple prices. We put emphasis on internationality. That's why we were ranked as "one of the best 25 international universities worldwide" (U-Multirank 2016). Our many international students come from all over the world to pursue a highly valued (state and FIBAA recognised) German degree that is entirely taught in English. Also we are ranked as one of the best universities in Germany in the field of business studies (U-Multirank 2018).

At UE, you will study in small course groups. We guarantee you individual mentoring and close contact with the lecturers. Our professors are leading experts in their fields with outstanding teaching, research and business success.

Moreover, we also value the linkage between the higher education and corporate industry ecosystem. The theory you learn will find practical approach in several project weeks. The variety of interdisciplinary courses gives you the chance to determine the content of your studies. We offer modern equipment like projectors in every room, Mac pools, SW programmes and more.

Our study program covers the ability to solve complex tasks by designing the software architecture, producing clean and well-documented code and following best practices from various domains. The Software Engineering Master’s program is fully taught in English.

Common modules to add to Software Engineering:

• Media & Marketing, Project Manager, Product Management, UX/UI Design, Leadership module, advanced research module

Modules:

• Advanced Software Design, Pattern Recognition, Decision Support Systems, Could Computing, Machine Learning, Vehicular Technology

As a private university, the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) is funded not by the state, but by tuition fees. For this reason, studying at University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) costs more than at a public university. But it’s worth it:

• Our graduates meet essential requirements of careers in business, and this sets them apart from the graduates of many public universities. Your employment and earnings prospects are greatly improved.
• ​All tuition costs are included in the monthly tuition fee. No additional costs will be incurred, such as a matriculation fee, exam fees, an bachelor thesis fee or similar, as long as the course is completed within the standard study period.

The costs for the semester abroad are not included in these fees, as there are substantial differences depending on country and university.

We are happy to provide you more information on funding your studies and on any available scholarships. If you have any further questions, our Student Guidance Office can provide you with detailed information.

You can apply a year in advance for your desired starting semester.

To qualify for a bachelor's degree at UE, you must meet the following requirements:

• Online application
• Completion of a Bachelor degree (B.Sc. Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Business Engineering, Business Informatics, etc.)
• Basic knowledge in object-oriented programming
• Professionals form companies (in part. 60 ECTS master)
• 2nd Master’s to extend qualification

• Entrance examination
  Personal interview (e.g., via Skype)

• Good English language skills

This study program is aimed specifically at ambitious and creative students who are curious about software learning and developing something that will make an impact in the world.
