In the first and second semester, the student will gain knowledge and experience with advanced methods for Software Engineering, Information Technology and Engineering Foundation and Practice. Both semesters have an elective module.

In the third and fourth semester, the student will gain knowledge and experience with advanced methods for Programming, Information Technology and Engineering Foundation and Practice. Project work gives the student the opportunity to test the theory in practice in a semester project that focuses on being able to learn to work with open issues. The project is about scalable software systems that can handle increased use in relation to both the number of users and the amount of data in the system. In the fourth semester, the project focuses on working with scientifically based issues. The project is about systems that are reliable through their design, transparency, verification and validation. This is especially relevant for software solutions based on internet of things technologies. In the 4th semester, there is also a 5 ECTS elective module.

In the fifth semester, the student will gain knowledge and experience with advanced methods for Software Engineering and Industry and Society. The student will learn how to carry out an innovation and development process that results in a new product or service.

In the sixth semester, the student must work with a specific engineering-professional issue in the company the student works in. The student will choose this in collaboration with a supervisor from SDU.

In the last two semesters the student will write a thesis in Software Engineering.
