Description

Develop software from a user oriented and societal perspective for a global market where cultural understanding and knowledge of local standards and conditions are crucial for success.

Career Opportunities  

Software is part of many aspects of our daily lives and it is embedded in e.g. computers, the TV, the smartphone, the Internet, the car, buildings, energy solutions, the train, and the stove. That means that software engineers will have career opportunities in many different sectors – in Denmark as well as abroad.

The education gives you a number of 
career opportunities – both in Denmark and abroad. For example, you can get a job as an IT- and system architect, software developer, mobile application developer, system consultant, software quality engineer and IT strategy manager.
