The bachelor's degree programme aims to train software developers who understand the development process from the initial idea to commissioning and can implement it on the basis of current technologies.

This degree programme is the right choice for you if you are enthusiastic about software development and want to put this enthusiasm into practice professionally on the basis of a solid foundation.

The Software Engineering and Connected Systems degree programme is offered part-time. This form makes it easier for working beginners to switch to this field. Existing software developers bring in their experience and take the next step in their career through the degree programme.

"No matter what area of life you look at, software is an essential part of any innovation. So our graduates are key to the success of new solutions."
