Beschreibung des Programms

What's it all About?

M. Sc. in Global Software Development is an international, practice-oriented Master's degree program taught entirely in English. Graduates are able to work in a globally distributed team on the design and realization of complex, distributed software systems.

Depending on the scope of the Bachelor's degree (6 or 7 semesters), the standard period of study is 3 or 4 semesters.

A period of study abroad can be completed as part of the program

How Does the Degree Program Work?

The first two semesters comprise modules in the areas of infrastructure, programming, technologies, methods, and application (in intercultural teams). The third/fourth semester is intended for the preparation of the Master's thesis and participation in a seminar focussing on intercultural topics.

A stay abroad is compulsory for students with a first degree from Germany who have not yet completed a stay abroad. In the three-semester program variant, the semester abroad can be completed in the 2nd semester of the program. In the four-semester program variant, the semester abroad can be completed in the 2nd/3rd semester or an internship abroad in the 3rd semester.

Students with a foreign first degree can choose between a 20-week internship in Germany, German courses, and attendance of further courses totaling 30 ECTS in the four-semester study option

Why study in Fulda?

Many Possibilities

Fulda University of Applied Sciences with its eight departments offers around 60 Bachelor's and Master's programs. The selection is large and ranges from technology, computer science, business, and law to nutrition, health, society, and culture. In addition to traditional subjects such as business administration or electrical engineering, we also offer innovative degree programs such as Nutrition, Health Sciences, or Renewable Energies.

Applied Sciences - the Combination of Theory and Practice

Fulda University of Applied Sciences is a university of applied sciences. This means that studying with us is not just about theory, but also has a lot to do with practice. This is reflected, among other things, in the close relationship between the university and regional organizations and companies, for example, when it comes to internships or theses. The International Careers Service of the International Office also offers international students and graduates a comprehensive range of information and advice on the topics of internships and career entry - paving the way to your future career.

Dual Study Programs - a German Success Story

More practice is not possible. As a student in a dual study program, you attend courses at the university and work in a company. In this way, you gain specialized knowledge that you can apply directly, gain the necessary experience for the transition into work, and also earn money. Some degree programs even include complete vocational training. This means you study in a discipline and learn a profession at the same time.

State-of-the-Art Equipment and the Latest Technology

Where could technicians, scientists, or engineers apply their acquired knowledge better than at the workplaces typical for their work? Fortunately, Fulda University of Applied Sciences has a wide range of so-called "labs" for authentic experimentation, real research, and repeated application. This Audio/video, NetLab, Renewable Energies Lab, Raw Materials Science Lab, Microbiology Lab, and Skills Labs simulate real working conditions and thus help students acquire the skills for their future profession.

From Preparatory Program to Doctorate

At Fulda University of Applied Sciences, you can follow the complete path of higher education. If you still lack some knowledge, you can catch up on it in a preparatory program. If you want to complete a Master's degree or even a doctorate, all doors are open to you.

Thriving Internationality

Of the approximately 9,000 students at Fulda University of Applied Sciences, about 1,500 are not from Germany, but from over 100 different countries.
