Information from your programme coordinator
My name is Nadeem Abbas, and I am Programme Director for the Master's programmes in Software Technology at Linnaeus University in Växjö. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at nadeem.abbas@lnu.se.
The programme in Software Technology focuses on the development of complex software systems; systems with millions of lines of code, often distributed and involving a lot of different components. You will study theories, tools, and methods that are used for or enable the development of high-quality software. The programme starts with a mix of practical and theoretical courses, so make sure that you refresh your programming and some of the mathematics/theoretical computer science before you start.
Programme Start
The official course start date is Monday, 31 August, check your schedule to see the booked lectures (see Student web).
We will have a programme introduction session first on Thursday, 3 September, 10-12 h, in K1073.
Learning Platform Moodle
At Linnaeus University, we use the learning platform Moodle to share programme related news and updates, communicate with the course management, discuss course assignments, and socialize with other classmates. You need your Linnaues University student account to access Moodle. Information about obtaining your student account is given on this link with useful information for new students.
Moodle course rooms are open for admitted students until midnight between day 1 and day 2 after the course starts. After that, only registered students will have access to the rooms.
Course literature
During the first study period, you will take following courses:
4DV650, Systems Modeling and Simulation
4DV507, Code Transformation and Interpretation
4DV651, Project in Model-based Development
Course literature for each course is specified in the course syllabus, which you can find here. Write the course code or title and if there are more options available, choose the last one.
Equipment
It is recommended that you have access to your own laptop that is no more than two years old (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
