Software Technology – (B.Sc.)

Would you like to work with game development, IT systems for automobiles, or maybe within telecom? The future is exciting and full of possibilities!

IT is everywhere in our society - in homes, healthcare and industry. This programme focuses mainly on the software in IT systems, which can be found in everything from mobile phones and games to cars and industrial robots. As a computer scientist, you will get solid knowledge of programming and the art of designing and developing IT systems.

Programs control computers. These programs can be very small, or huge systems with millions of lines of program code. The development of larger programs requires well thought-out approaches and a good organization. How to organize, design and develop large computer systems are some of the things you learn in software technology, which is a part of computer science. You will also acquire knowledge of other fields of computer science such as computer networks, databases and operating systems.

Elective courses within the programme let you create your own educational profile, for example in computer graphics/visualization.

Your future
A first job will likely mean that you work as programmer within a larger organization. You can then go on to work as project manager, consultant or educator. Regardless of where you work, you will probably be working in a team with other persons. The IT world is global, so work abroad may be as likely as work in Sweden.

Degree
Bachelor of Science with specialization in software engineering (main subject: computer science). An exam at Bachelor level meets the general entry requirements for programmes at advanced level.
