Program Description

The complex, ambitious, and innovative future software systems developed by successful technology companies require a particular kind of leader, possessing both in-depth technical knowledge and excellent leadership abilities. Some traditional master’s programs train software developers, and others train classical managers, but they often fail to deliver the digital-technology-savvy leaders that leading-edge companies need.

The Master in Computer, Software Engineering, and Leadership (MSc) addresses these gaps. The research-oriented master’s program includes a wide range of courses and projects covering a broad spectrum of quantum technologies, computer science, and software engineering topics as well as essential management and leadership skills.

The course teaches students how to effectively design reliable systems that meet the needs of producers and customers, developing solutions to agreed-upon problems with industry partners and laboratories that act as clients. Working closely with instructors and assistants, students are mentored and work in a modern environment supported by open-source IDEs and engineering tools.
