DevOps and Cloud Computing (M.Sc.)

Start your online master’s programme in DevOps and Cloud Computing today

A wealth of IT knowledge in a single study programme. This Master’s programme focuses on two key areas: DevOps – the integration of software development and IT operations – and cloud computing. Cloud computing encompasses far more than mere data storage: it involves the flexible provision and management of IT resources such as storage, computing power and applications via networks. By combining these two topics, you will acquire the necessary expertise to shape the introduction and further development of a DevOps culture within organisations. In doing so, you will optimise processes, ease the workload on teams – and contribute to a modern, collaborative corporate culture.

Depending on your background, we offer you a choice of two master’s programmes: the 60 ECTS programme in DevOps and Cloud Computing Management or the 120 ECTS programme in DevOps and Cloud Computing.
