Software Engineering
This master's programme focuses on developing advanced knowledge and expertise for the design and development of software and digital services. In the programme, you will learn to apply engineering principles in software and systems development, including design methodologies, business process and service modelling, operation principles, and maintenance and quality assurance approaches.
The Master's Programme in Software Engineering is designed for students who have completed at least 24 ECTS credits in computer science or related fields (IT/IS or software engineering) but do not have a bachelor's degree in these fields. Building on more general software engineering topics and other areas of information technology, such as software development, quality assurance and testing, or software design, this programme provides an opportunity for students to engage in and develop skills for research.
The programme's basic courses can be completed remotely, but the attendance requirements of advanced and elective studies vary. You should prepare to attend classes on campus as needed.
What will you learn in the programme?
After graduation, you will have a solid foundation in software engineering. You will be able to apply computer science and software engineering principles, best practices, and industry standards to complex software systems development.
You will be able to
- design, evaluate, and adapt software processes and software development tools for advanced development projects;
- identify user needs and design effective software solutions;
- recognise human, security, social, and entrepreneurial issues and responsibilities in engineering software and the digitalisation of services;
- put together your own professional network in Finland through practical assignments with real companies during your studies.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi. ĮSIDĖMĖK, Prie anketos būtinai turi prisegti dokumentą (anglų kalba), patvirtinantį, kad studijuoji ir šiais metais baigsi savo studijas. Dokumentas turi būti patvirtinas universiteto administracijos.
Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
Pastaba! Stojant į šio universiteto programas yra reikalingas geras bakalauro studijų įvertinimas, vidurkis turėtų būti 7 ir daugiau. Šie reikalavimai yra orientaciniai ir galutinį vertinimą ar turimų pažymių pakanka atliks LUT universiteto priėmimo komisija.
SVARBU! Anglų testo sertifikatas turi būti atsiųstas kartu su stojimo anketa iki stojimo deadlino.
Anglų kalbos žinias gali patvirtinti vienu iš šių būdų:
IELTS – 6.5
TOEFL - 90
