- Description/content
- In many companies with overseas branches, partners and customers, software development has a global dimension. It is no longer uncommon to find a development team dispersed across countries or continents. On one hand, this poses a special challenge for development methodologies and processes, on the other hand, it demands intercultural competencies of all team members.
Besides state-of-the-art technologies and frameworks of current fields such as parallel programming and web/mobile applications, this three- to four-semester Master's programme focuses on development methodologies and their application in intercultural teams. It has a very practical orientation and is taught entirely in English.
Therefore, optional German language courses are offered by our language centre.
Applicants planning to live and work in Germany after graduation will need a deeper knowledge of the German language and culture. For these applicants, we offer a one-semester pre-study programme.
