Additional information

Software systems and information technology have rapidly spread throughout the main sectors of modern societies and even formed the backbone of many economies. Over the last decades, there has been a dramatic shift from a hardware-centric to a software-centric implementation of many computing systems. The Software Systems area of specialization equips the students with a solid, extensive background in computer science and software engineering with an emphasis on contemporary as well as future concepts and practices.
