Location of University of Tartu
The international Master´s program in Software Engineering aims at providing students with advanced software engineering and management skills, as well as specialized skills in two major application domains: enterprise systems and embedded real-time systems.
The Master´s program is jointly delivered by the two largest public universities in Estonia - University of Tartu and Tallinn University of Technology. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive a joint degree signed by both universities.
Estonia is well known for its eagerness in embracing technology driven innovation. It is a pioneer in electronic identity, electronic voting, and vigorous in adopting mobile technology, online banking and electronic government services. Estonia is also home to internationally successful IT innovations as well as a groundswell of IT ventures. The program will expose students to this exciting environment and provide them with skills in innovative and cutting-edge software technology.
This Master´s degree program has been selected by the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research as one of the winners of the 2008 national competition of the most attractive international Master´s programs in Estonia.
The program will provide the specialized knowledge and professional skills needed in a career path leading to high-end technical roles (e.g. software analyst, architect or research engineer) or managerial roles (e.g. project/team leader or technology officer). Graduates from the program will be well equipped to join the highly dynamic software industry in the Baltics, Northern and Eastern Europe.
The program will be taught by professors with international experience from the Institute of Computer Science at University of Tartu and the Institute of Informatics at Tallinn University of Technology. Several courses will feature guest lecturers from the industry or foreign institutions. The research component of the program will draw upon the infrastructure and competencies of the Estonian Center of Excellence in Computer Science.
