Software engineering and technology​ master's programme at Chalmers

The current evolution is creating growing importance of software in several areas of society. At the same time, the size and complexity of software is constantly increasing alongside the pressure of speedy supply in turbulent environments with rapidly changing demands. To meet these challenges and the demands of delivering reliable and high-quality software, this programme offers a unique combination of advanced technical knowledge and required management skills. 

Software engineering and technology​ master's programme at ChalmersYour studies will benefit greatly from the use of real industrial projects and collaboration with industry representatives from for example Ericsson, Volvo AB, Volvo IT, Volvo Cars, Saab and Astra Zeneca. In your future career, you will be the team player with the important holistic software engineering perspective the industry demands for, able to handle technical and organizational challenges.

Our master's programme combines a number of perspectives on software engineering, all of which promote the common goal of educating engineers who are skilled in designing quality software at low development and maintenance costs. Software engineering and technology is also a platform for future researchers who get qualified to perform advanced technological and methodological experiments in software engineering.

The programme focuses on three main competences in software engineering:

  • Advanced technical knowledge and skills
  • Advanced knowledge of methods and processes
  • Advanced knowledge of industrial activities and practices
  • The combination of this knowledge is highly valued and in great demand in the software industry in order to support, innovates, and improve practices with new methods and tools. 

Our programme offers a mixture of conventional lectures, seminars, and project work in close collaboration with real industrial projects and industry representatives. Projects, group work, and student presentations are also important parts of the programme.
