Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
The focus of this master’s programme is on software development for embedded systems, networks and distributed systems. The programme is intended for software development in general, and with special emphasis on software for consumer electronics as well as transport, control, telecommunication and security systems. Both practical and theoretical aspects are covered. The programme is conducted with a combination of courses and project work.
The master’s programme is managed by the Distributed and Embedded Systems Group, which is one of the leading research groups on tools for analysis, verification and testing based on models for embedded systems. The group has substantial connections to the Danish IT industry with the research centre CISS (www.ciss.dk). This gives students the opportunity to work with companies during their project and thesis work.
