Location of Graz University of Technology (TU Graz)
The software development and business programme places special value on a combination of technology and economic sciences. Thus, subjects of software
development as well as management and personal development are all found in the curriculum. What exactly is software development? It means writing clean, object-oriented well-planned and quality-assured computer programmes in teams. The most important areas are modelling and designing systems, and implementing and testing software. The most important requirements of the "program as finished product" are robustness, reusability, expandability, testability and future sustainability. Customer satisfaction depends on these cornerstones.
In the business part of the course of study, students learn the basics of business administration, law andmanagement. Special importance is also placed on the
field of knowledge management. What does knowledge management mean? In all businesses and especially in the internet there are huge amounts of important information.
This information is, however, often hard to find since it first has to be placed in the right context. The computer-aided area of knowledge management deals
in particular with structuring, linking, fetching and finding knowledge so that it is useful for users.
Career Opportunities
The fields of activity of graduates are very broad. Graduates can find employment in small businesses which want to keep up with IT development, as well as in larger companies which want to develop in a more innovative way. Other possible fields of application include the services sector, public administration, and teaching and research, since data accumulates everywhere and is the life blood of the information society. Graduates` sphere of activity comprises support in modelling, design, implementation, assessment and application of complex software systems.
