Software Science

Radboud University Nijmegen Research university

In this Master's specialisation, the focus is on learning how to design high-level software that guarantees safety and correctness while still being in control of its complexity.

Producing software is not merely a technological enterprise but a deeply scientific and creative one as well. Software plays a role in almost every aspect of our daily lives and in every organisation anywhere in the world. It can often be a crucial key to their success. Well-structured software that is attuned to an organisation's needs and future plans can be cost effective, improve efficiency, offer better services and be innovative.

This Master's specialisation brings you to the forefront of academic research on software, and prepares you to play a leading role in building the society of tomorrow. The programme builds on the strong international reputation of the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (iCIS) in three closely related areas: software technology, computer-aided analysis, and theory of computation. You will follow courses in each of these areas. Depending on your interests, you can then specialise in one area, or study the fascinating links between the areas.

This specialisation goes far beyond basic code writing. It's about analysing and testing code in order to improve it as well as simplify it.
