Information from your programme coordinator

My name is Nadeem Abbas, and I am Program Director for the Master's programs 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 program 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 program 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.
