What will you learn?

The study program develops a unique competency profile of the student based on the intersection of knowledge from multiple areas relevant to the management of software systems and services development as well as cybersecurity management. A specific characteristic is the focus on strategic and operational management related to the targeting, design, implementation and operation of software systems and services within the context of organizations and different types with a possible focus on their secure operation or IT services. In addition to the development of basic theoretical and technological knowledge and practical development skills acquired in the Bachelor's degree, the content of the follow-up study is expanded to include other dimensions such as the theory and practice of team, project and process management, communication, soft-skills and knowledge essential for functioning in economic relations - the basics of marketing, law and others, which is especially (but not only) related to the specialization of service development. The study of cybersecurity takes into account aspects of the overlap of computing beyond fixed system perimeters (e.g. impacting critical infrastructures), thus allowing for a specific multidisciplinary technical overlap, societal and legal aspects in this area.

Management - the driving force of success.

Practical training

In the Software Systems and Services Management study programme, students complete a compulsory internship of 10 weeks/400 hours within one semester. The student's activities during the internship must correspond to the so-called T-shaped focus, where in-depth knowledge and experience in computer science are required, as well as a broad overview and basic skills in other fields (economics, management, law, etc.). Information on internships can be found in the Course Catalogue, in the study materials of the course or on the website.
