Overview
Important aspects, of the Distributed Software Systems programme at the Darmstadt University of Technology, are the underlying software infrastructure as well as the data exchange via public supraregional networks. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including the development of distributed enterprise software and general web-based applications. Other topics include the development of social networks or virtual realities.
The choice areas Computer Networking and Systems Software , Distributed Systems and Formal Methods , Programming Languages and Software Engineering can be chosen as well. Numerous options allow students to follow their own personal preferences.
Career opportunities
Graduates of the master program Distributed Software Systems look to a labor market with a high demand for skilled workers - especially in Germany, one of the leading nations in the development of enterprise applications.
Computer scientists in this field realize new software projects for innovative business ideas, or adapt existing systems to new challenges, in the form of the technical mapping of complex business processes. In addition, diverse perspectives open up outside of the classical area of software development for companies, because what they have learned is also used in the development of general, web-based software, such as in the field of social networks or virtual realities.
