Bachelor degree in Computer Science or a related study field is obligatory.
Good knowledge in the areas of software engineering, programming,
database systems and computer networks is required. In particular,
the following topics have to be covered by a first degree:
• Hardware: Computer components, micro controller programming
• Software Engineering: Models, requirements engineering, design languages, software validation.
• Programming: Extensive experience in the application of an object-oriented programming language
(e.g. C++, Java). Participation in the implementation of a large scale application.
• Database Systems: Relational and object-oriented database technology, database normalisation,
SQL, programming interfaces (e.g. ODBC, JDBC, etc.), transactions, indexing.
• Networks: General principles of computer networks, socket communication,
object-oriented communication methods (e.g. Corba, Remote Method Invocation)
• Profound knowledge of English is essential. Knowledge of German language is not required to follow the course but it is strongly recommended to take some introductory courses.

About the Master programme "Software Engineering for Industrial Applications"
Introduction
Our Master programme “Software Engineering for Industrial Applications” is unique in its precise tailoring to the needs of the industry. The course comprises one year of full-time studies plus one year of integrated practice and is taught completely in English by a young and highly motivated team. Graduates do not only possess cutting-edge technological competence but also excellent management and engineering skills – perfect pre-requisites for a high-flying career in software development!
Course structure
The Master programme comprises four semesters.
The first two semesters provide theoretical knowledge in the domains of Management, Software Engineering for Distributed Systems, Advanced Information Systems and Logistic Systems. In addition, seminars on recent developments in these areas are offered.
Students spend the third and fourth semesters working as an intern in a company to gain more practical experience. This second year is thus dedicated to training assignments in application oriented research and development projects.. After a successful completion of these studies, Hof University of Applied Sciences awards you the academic degree "Master of Engineering".
Industrial relevance
The programme prepares students for complex management and engineering tasks in the domain of software development for industrial applications. In this field, information technology is increasingly characterised by integrated solutions interconnecting systems on various levels. Its applications range from low-level control of production processes to high-level management and logistic tasks of multiple independent companies. Managing projects in this domain requires not only excellent technological competence but also management and engineering skills which have to be trained and demonstrated in a sufficiently complex environment.
