Location of Malardalen University
The proliferation and growing influence of software in business and our daily lives have been phenomenal. Software engineering deals with the design and development of high-quality software systems – and hence an increasingly important area in computer science. In this programme, you will gain a basic knowledge and practical skills in software engineering.
EDUCATION
During this programme, students will acquire good theoretical knowledge and excellent skills in engineering software-intensive systems, which encompass the ability to cope with the complexity of understanding, designing and implementing
such systems in the global work place. The students will obtain knowledge of principles for the analysis, design and implementation of large and complex software systems. The modern trends that will dominate future software development will be taught, including component-based software engineering, service-oriented architectures, interoperability, and global system development. Students successfully completing this programme will be able to demonstrate understanding of the methodologies and techniques of software management and to apply them to a range of development scenarios. The students will be able to transcend global diversity and work in international teams.
The industrial track will involve mentoring and thesis projects related to partner industries such as ABB, Ericsson, Volvo, etcetera. One of the highlights of our programme is an industry-sponsored top-talents programme intended for educating software professionals. In 2009, our programme reached new heights of excellence when four out of the ten teams that reached the finals of the software engineering
project contest at the ICSE-2009. The top-most software engineering conference in the world, were from Mälardalen University, including the winners. In 2011, the competition was held in Hawaii and two teams from Mälardalen University were ranked second and third out of 96 competing teams.
RESEARCH
This master programme is hosted by the Division of Software Engineering at Mälardalen University. The division has several internationally acclaimed researchers with proven records of excellence and active involvement in world-leading conferences.
The major areas of research at the division include Component-Based Software Engineering, Software Processes, Software Testing, and Dependable Software Engineering.All research is performed in projects with specific goals with respect to publications, collaborations, and prototype tools. We transfer our research results to our educations as far as possible. Most of the advanced-level courses will cover state-of-the art research in software engineering.
FUTURE AND CAREER
The one-year Master Programme in Software Engineering equips you with the know-how to develop high-quality software systems, which is invaluable for presumptive software architects, project leaders, and technical specialists. The demand for high-skilled experts in software engineering is constantly rising, thus making you highly competitive nationally as well as internationally, in both the industrial sector and academic research.
