A Software Engineer dives into code and understands the systematic fusion of engineering principles applied to software systems development. A software engineer is the beating heart of any tech company, taking on the role of software designer and builder, tackling complex tasks, maintaining clean coding practices, and adhering to best practices in a variety of specializations. Our Software Engineering program is fully taught in English.
CODE is all about new ways of learning
Real-life projectsEach core semester, students pitch project ideas to each other and work on real-life projects that ignite their curiosity.
InterdisciplinarityStudents form interdisciplinary project teams across all study programs, combining diverse skills to develop digital products.
Professors as mentorsOur professors take on the role of mentors, offering tailored support for problem-solving and delivering focused learning units as needed.
Self-directed learningIn a world where knowledge is just a click away, we promote dynamic education through self-directed learning and peer collaboration.
