Program details
Overview
Software plays a role in almost every aspect of our daily lives and in every organisation across the globe. This specialisation focuses on analysing and testing of code in order to both improve and simplify it.
Producing software is not merely a technological enterprise but a deeply scientific and creative one as well. In this specialisation, therefore, we don’t just expect you to understand and make use of the appropriate tools, but also to program and develop your own. Although this is not the only focus, our programme puts emphasis on embedded software and functional programming. Other topics that are covered are domain-specific languages, model learning, model-based testing, task-oriented and functional programming, model checking and sustainable computing.
