GSEEM programme
Aims
The outcome of your studies will be governed by your personal choice
and mix of modules – although always within the global software
engineering concept – and the approach of your final thesis project.
However, each student must do at least 60 ECTS abroad. This can be
achieved through core modules, optional modules, and a
thesis.
Double degree
By completing the GSEEM programm, you will receive a Double Master Degree in the area of software engineering. A Double Master Degree is a collection of two Master Degrees provided at two different Universities. To obtain a Master Degree at a University you must fulfill the following conditions: (1) Obtain an least 60 ECTS from each of the two partner universities where the study has been done, and (2) fulfill the eventual additional local requirements for the Master Degree at both Universities (see the Universities page for more information and exceptions).Scholarships
Scholarshisps may be granted by the various university partners on a yearly basis, as based on availability and on the individual candidate study records. Scholarships may cover living expenses or tuition fees or thesis projects by industry. For further information refer to the GSEEM contact persons (see the Universities page for more information).Specialization profiles
You can choose one among three specialization profiles: each partner
univeristy offers core and optional modules and practical/industrial
thesis projects in the profile(s) it excels, as illustrated in the
following table. By clicking on the individual profile in the

The Software Architecting (SA)
Profile comprises general principles for the analysis,
design
and management of large and complex software systems. Global
distributed settings need specialized practices, mechanisms and
technologies to share knowledge mong distributed virtual communities of
professionals.
The Real-time Embedded Systems
Engineering (ES) Profile is focused on modelling and
analysis of
embedded and real-time systems (from mobile phones, sensors and
communication devices, to large products such as vehicles or
airplanes). Such systems require knowledge of Software Engineering to
provide solutions related to reliability, safety, resource usage,
timeliness, predictability and similar properties.
The Web systems and Services Engineering (WS) Profile focuses on architectural engineering, interoperability, implementation, testing and deployment of Web and Internet distributed applications and services. Like embedded systems, Web applications/services require specific solutions related to concerns such as security, integrity, timeliness, performance and usability.
International mobility
GSEEM is a Master programme of two years. During his or her studies, each GSEEM student will attend one year at the home university and one year abroad at one of the other university partners.
Thesis
The Master thesis project is carried out during the second year, eventually abroad. The thesis research can be undertaken in a university research lab or in cooperation with a non-university organisation (e.g. private companies, state/community authorities). If it is done at non-university organisations, the primary supervisor will still be a faculty member of a partner university and the quality of the work will be closely supervised. The final outcome of your study will be governed by the approach of your final thesis project.
