The two-year full-time programme in software development is designed to prepare students for the practice of contemporary software development in leading-edge software organisations and research institutions.
Its major themes are:
•agility
•innovation
•software engineering
•human-computer interaction.
Students are expected both to develop extended working software prototypes addressing real-world problems and to contribute to research on the programme’s themes.
Admission to the Master’s program in Software Development requires a Bachelor degree. Students with a Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Informatics or a similar degree cannot be admitted.

Software Development is a full master’s programme (120 ECTS credits). Students can also choose to pursue one or two semesters.
The programme combines the latest advances in research and practice knowledge in a four-semester structure.
In the third and fourth semesters, students study the research methods that are relevant for studying the programme’s themes, and research and write the Master’s thesis.
The thesis addresses a topic at the frontier of practice research: students work with problems critical for software firms and software-dependent businesses, in collaboration with leading researchers and experienced developers.
Graduates will be well placed for a development career with a business or innovation facing software organisation, or for a research career in the information systems discipline.
