Structure and content

The Software Engineering & Intelligent Technologies degree program provides a current education in computer science with a focus on software development, agile methodologies, and artificial intelligence. Beginning in the first semester, you can choose specific modules in these areas. 

You will apply what you have learned through projects in conjunction with companies and laboratory exercises.

Foundational courses include, among other things:

• ha
• Computer science with emphasis on programming and software engineering 
• Software architecture
• AI-integrated software development
• DevOps fundamentals
• System design 
• Prompting engineering
• Theoretical fundamentals and mathematics
• Machine and deep learning

In the specialisation modules, you can select between two focus areas:

•  The AI-Augmented Software Engineering specialisation emphasises integrating AI and holistic thinking when developing software. You will employ artificial intelligence (AI) to efficiently generate high-quality software, such as generative code assistance, test automation, or intelligent development environments (AI as a tool).
•  The AI-Augmented Software Products specialization teaches how to create intelligent software solutions that incorporate AI features. You will leverage AI as part of the solution, such as machine learning models, recommendation systems, or natural language interfaces (AI-as-part-of-the-solution).

Both specialisations offer a wide range of courses, seminars, and practical workshops to chose from, including:

• Software Testing 
• Evolutionary Software Design & Architecture
• Enterprise Application Frameworks
• Value Stream Driven Product Development
• Tools & Trends in Modern Software Engineering
• Ethics in Computer Science
