Master en Génie Logiciel

In this program, you will learn how to leverage next-generation technologies such as Cloud Computing, the Internet of Things, and Analytics to create, connect, optimize, and engineer innovative systems moving to pragmatic application and commercialization on a rapid and large scale.

The physical world and the virtual world (cyberspace) are converging into new generations of systems like  Cyber-Physical Systems . Such systems monitor physical environments, communicate and cooperate with each other and with human beings in real time, and make decentralized intelligent decisions. They are highly dependent on components whose functionality is controlled by software.

With the revolution of  Industry 4.0 , manufactural production also begins to depend on these systems more and more. At the same time, companies and organizations still need IT to automatize their business processes and release human beings from the burden of repetitive and tedious operations.

Business software provides such support but requires a great knowledge of the operational environment in which it runs as it is developed to meet the needs of a specific business. Thus, designing and building software for such systems is an art that also requires skills in context analysis and customization.

Overall, there is an increasing need for a new generation of systems and software technologies that ensure robust, safe, secure, uninterrupted, and real-time operations - particularly in situations where human life or business is exposed to risk if the software fails.

In this Master's, you will learn how to conceive, design, implement, customize, and maintain these systems by applying software engineering principles to the industry practice and develop and test your prototypes. Courses are designed to provide you with  advanced software engineering knowledge  and practice of  software and systems development complemented by competencies in lean management and entrepreneurship.

The internship program will drive you through a unique experience and can prepare you for your thesis work. The internship can be performed in companies or in collaboration with international research centers associated with the program. The learning experience you get with this Master's will give you a solid base for your future as a software and systems engineer

The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano was founded in 1997. Our university has a strong international outlook, as testified by its multilingual courses (German, Italian, English, and Ladin) and the high number of students and teaching staff from abroad.

The taught modules on offer and our research projects are linked to international and inter-regional networks. For example, within the Euregio project, we are partnered with the universities of Innsbruck and Trento, and we are committed to reaching top quality standards.
