MSc in Computer Science and Software Engineering

The Master of Science in Computer Science and Software Engineering at Jacobs University Bremen (JUB) is a research-oriented consecutive master program that complements a broad spectrum of research-oriented technological education with essential management and leadership skills to educate the future technology leaders in research and industry. To prepare students for this role of technology leaders in research and industry, it offers a solid training in Software Engineering regarding development and management, as well as technical core courses in three subject areas that are presently at the utmost importance

• Software Engineering,
• Cybersecurity, and
• Artificial Intelligence.

These offers mirror the research activities at JUB, Schaffhausen Institute of Technology (SIT) and of the involved faculty. Thereby, excellent teaching competence is guaranteed and hands-on experiences from the forefront of the state of the art in research and industry are provided.

Students at JUB and SIT locations have seamless access to the educational offer at both sites. Many courses in the software engineering subject area will be taught by distinct experts in the field at SIT, which are also adjunct faculty of JUB. Moreover, this cooperation will enable quick access to real world applications and the IT job market via SIT’s excellent international network. On the Jacobs University side, this comes together with excellent support via the Career Center and offers towards start-ups (local support, incubators, etc.). Finally, due to the approach to have the Master of Science being taught at two sites (Bremen, Schaffhausen), students have access to both locations but will also become “native” in modern remote collaboration approaches.

Overall, by completing the master study, students will acquire the core expertise of digital leaders, with a solid technological backbone developed along three complementary areas, with additional core management and leadership skills that characterize the educational journey. They will acquire the essential soft skills for an active digital technology leadership in the contemporary global and multiethnic society, thanks to the international environment that characterizes JUB and SIT. Overall, this education will enable them to enter research via Ph.D. programs and to succeed in the job market in high profile roles.
