They will study software project management and business processes, software architecture and design aspects, implementation and software construction, testing and quality assurance. They will also acquire the practical skills for planning and implementing systems development projects. These projects will meet customer needs and integrate software solutions into the business environment. Through a project dissertation, students will study an area of interest in depth. This can offer valuable industry experience.
