MSc in Software Engineering

Course Description

The International Master’s Programme in Software Engineering imparts general software engineering and management skills, as well as specialized skills in two major software application domains: enterprise systems and embedded real-time systems. The program is delivered jointly by Estonia’s two largest universities: University of Tartu and Tallinn University of Technology. Students graduating from this program obtain degrees from both universities. The Master’s program starts with a core module where you will acquire general software engineering skills, covering both technical aspects (systems modeling and programming) but also management skills. You will then choose one of two specialization modules: enterprise software (at University of Tartu) or embedded & real-time software (at Tallinn University of Technology). A range of elective and free-choice courses will allow you to further specialize or to broaden your horizons.
