Master in Software Technology

Tuition fees for Master in Software Technology are 3,000 EUR per year.

The Software Technology programme at Stuttgart Technical University of Applied Sciences is a three-semester, internationally oriented master's degree covering advanced topics in software development, information management, computer networks, and electronic commerce. The curriculum builds on the most recent theories, techniques, and standards in data management and software engineering, with students applying these through coursework and a substantial practical software project. The first two semesters focus on advanced methods in software engineering, databases, project management, middleware technology, and system design. Elective modules allow students to go deeper into areas such as formal methods and current technological topics. The second semester centres on a large software project that spans the full term and provides a practical foundation for the master's thesis. The thesis, which occupies the third semester, is typically completed in cooperation with industry partners and involves the analysis, design, implementation, and testing of software components in a real-world context. EU students may also opt for the part-time track, which extends the programme to five semesters. Graduates are prepared for leadership and development roles in IT and telecommunications companies, research and development departments, software houses, and consultancies. The degree also qualifies holders for doctoral study. The programme is offered at Stuttgart Technical University of Applied Sciences in Stuttgart, Germany.
