Online study programme Software Development: Your courses

The compulsory subjects of your bachelor’s degree are divided into three areas: software engineering (e.g. requirements engineering, IT architecture management, IT service management, data privacy and data security), programming and technological skills (e.g. programming websites and web-based information systems, data modelling and database systems, app development or cloud programming) as well as methodical expertise (e.g. IT project management or techniques and methods of agile software development). Your elective subjects allow you to focus on subjects such as AI expert, AR/VR developer or Internet of Things.

Practical relevance in your online study programme Software Development

Each semester, you are made familiar with a new type of technology. You will practice using this technology in a practical project. In comparison to related study programmes, such as computer science, your online studies in Software Development deal with practically relevant topics more in depth. This includes cloud computing, IT infrastructure and DevOps, among others. Your degree prepares you for a wide range of areas, including AI/data science, VR/AR or Industry 4.0.

Study model and prices for the online study programme Software Development

Depending on your personal or professional situation, full-time study is not always easy to manage. That is why we have also developed part-time programmes for all our degrees, which offer flexible and longer study periods. This way, you can study alongside your job or during your time off, whether at home or abroad. The content of the different models is identical. Depending on the study model, we will adjust your tuition fees accordingly. With the part-time variants, your weekly study workload is reduced.

Can't finish your degree in the allotted time? No problem! We will develop the right study model for everyone. If you realise that you need more time, you can easily switch to another study model with three months’ notice before the end of the month. These are our different study models:
