Software engineering and technology master's programme​ at Chalmers Society is increasingly searching for hardware and software solutions that are dynamic rather than static, which can grow and develop during their life cycle. The current evolution is also creating the growing importance of software in several areas of society. At the same time, the size and complexity of software are constantly increasing alongside the pressure of speedy supply in turbulent environments with rapidly changing demands. To meet these challenges and the demands of delivering reliable and high-quality software. ​Your studies will benefit greatly from the use of real industrial projects and collaboration with industry representatives from for example Ericsson, Volvo AB, Volvo IT, Volvo Cars, Saab and Astra Zeneca. In your future career, you will be a team player with the important holistic software engineering perspective the industry demands, able to handle technical and organisational challenges. The master's programme combines a number of perspectives on software engineering, all of which promote the common goal of educating engineers who are skilled in designing quality software at low development and maintenance costs. Software engineering and technology is also a platform for future researchers who get qualified to perform advanced technological and methodological experiments in software engineering. The programme focuses on three main competences in software engineering: advanced technical knowledge and skills, advanced knowledge of methods and processes, and advanced knowledge of industrial activities and practices. The combination of this knowledge is highly valued and in great demand in the software industry in order to support, innovate, and improve practices with new methods and tools. The programme offers a mixture of conventional lectures, seminars, and project work in close collaboration with real industrial projects and industry representatives. Projects, group work, and student presentations are also important parts of the programme. Show less

The master's programme runs for a duration of two years, leading to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. During each year, students can earn 60 credits (ECTS) and complete the programme by accumulating a total of 120 credits. Credits are earned by completing courses where each course is usually 7.5 credits. The programme consists of compulsory courses, compulsory elective courses and elective courses. ​

Compulsory courses year 1
During the first year, the programme starts with four compulsory courses that form a common foundation in Software engineering and technology. Each course is usually 7.5 credits.
Empirical software engineering
Advanced requirements engineering
Project management
